Raised by a loving single mom and religiously listening to the Grand Ole Opry with her grandfather on their local country station, Adams’ inspiration has always stemmed from country music.

Adams’ songwriting draws from her influences – Dolly Parton, Miranda Lambert, Bonnie Raitt and Martina McBride, and her heartfelt storytelling is at the root of everything she does. Country music brought her grandfather much joy, so she began singing to make him smile – and the rest is history.
