Bryan Adams Information
Bryan Adams OC, OBC, is a Canadian-born rock singer, guitarist, songwriter and photographer was born on 5 November 1959 in Kingston, Ontario. His renowned piece of work includes the albums Reckless, 18 til I Die, and Waking Up the Neighbours.
Adams was presented with the Order of Canada and the Order of British Columbia for his contribution to popular music and his altruistic work. He was also inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 1998, and more recently inducted into the Music Hall of Fame at Canada's Juno Awards in April 2006. He has been nominated for three Academy Awards for songwriting, and was recently nominated for his fifth Golden Globe (2007) for his songwriting in the film Bobby.
Born to English parents - diplomats from profession, he lived in England, Israel, Portugal and Austria with his parents and younger brother Bruce, through most of the 60s. They visited to Ottawa from time to time, until establishing in Vancouver, Canada in 1973.
As a teenager, he chased his dreams, i.e., building a music career, with full consistency. At 15 Adams quit school and used the money his parents had saved for his higher education to buy a grand piano. He played in nightclubs in bands like Shock and Sweeney Todd, which released an album called If Wishes Were Horses with Adams as lead singer. He raised money by washing dishes, selling pet food and working in record stores. An unforeseen meeting with drummer Jim Vallance in a Vancouver music store led to a song-writing partnership that continues to this day. The pair began writing songs together and recording demo tapes.
In 1978, at 18, Adams sent a few demo recordings to A&M Records in Toronto, and soon signed a deal with them for a sum of one dollar. He has released 14 albums since then. Some of the first demos written in 1978 have surfaced over the years, most notably "I'm Ready" and "Remember," which went on his first album.
The self-titled debut album was released in February of 1980, and marked the beginning of what was to become a long songwriting partnership between Adams and co-writer Jim Vallance. With the exemption of "Remember" and "Wastin' Time" most of the album was co-produced by Adams and Vallance. The album was certified gold in Canada later in 1986.
During the early 80s Adams and Vallance also co-wrote a number of songs for Vallance's band Prism. Among these was "Don't Let Him Know", which turned out to be Prism's only Billboard Top 40 hit, but the first of many for Adams as a songwriter.
Adams' second album, You Want It You Got It was recorded in New York City in two weeks and it marked Adams' first album co-produced by Bob Clearmountain. It was released in 1981 and contained the FM radio hit "Lonely Nights", but it was not until his third album, Cuts Like A Knife February 1983, that which took him off to success with four hits in 1983. The album attained much commercial success, rising to #8 on the Billboard Album Chart.
In 2000, Adams provided vocals for Don't Give Up by Nick Bracegirdle a.k.a Chicane, an English producer.
In 2001, Adams released the live videos Live at the Budokan recorded at the Nippon Budokan arena in Tokyo, and Live at Slane Castle, the recording of the Slane Concert which Bryan headlined in 2000
In May 2002, he released the Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron DreamWorks soundtrack, which went gold in the US.
In 2004, Adams released his first studio album for six years, Room Service. The album went to #4 in the UK and #1 in Europe.
Adams released Anthology in commemoration of his 25th anniversary, in 2005, as an assortment of hits and some other minor tracks from the 25 years of recording. He also released the DVD, Live in Lisbon.
Adams has also worked on soundtracks of various films including the hit movie, "The Guardian" starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher. Adams wrote and performed the song "Never Let Go" which was featured in the closing credits. It has become known as the theme to the movie. Adams also co-wrote the song Never Gonna Break My Faith for the film Bobby which was sung by Aretha Franklin and Mary J. Blige. This work earned him a Golden Globe Nomination in 2007.
Possibly, Adams might come up with a new album in summers of 2007. Unlike many solo artists, Adams does not use a rotation of session musicians in his Backup band; he has a group of musicians with whom he tours regularly, the lineup of which seldom changes. The current lineup includes, Keith Scott - Lead/Rhythm Guitar, Mickey Curry - Drums, Gary Breit - Keyboards, and Norm Fisher - Bass Guitar. Scott and Curry have been working with Adams constantly since the early 1980s, while Fisher and Breit have only been part of the band since the early 2000s. Before them, Tommy Mandel regularly played keyboards in the band and Dave Taylor played bass guitar (80s-1997). In his reception speech at the induction ceremony into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the 2006 Juno Awards, he named his long-time guitarist Keith Scott as his best friend. The two have been playing together for over 25 years.
