Formula Indie Sessions _ Interview with Adam Paddock
Processed with VSCO with c9 preset
What is your earliest memory connected to music?
My earliest memory connected to music was picking up the trumpet in fifth grade. I had no idea how much this would shape my career.
How did your passion for creating music begin?
My passion was inspired by a creative household and an intrinsic drive to make something special and lasting out of this life.
What’s the story behind your current music project?
LATITUDES is my most recent single. It is about a good friend passing and looking to find him everywhere I go.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?
My sound is reminiscent of the anthemic Sam Fender hits with the intimate Coldplay intention.
What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music? Learning that every bad idea is just a stepping stone to the best one you’ve ever had is a great reminder.
What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process? I usually write on guitar or piano and then build out demos on Logic Pro.
Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?
I am obsessed with Born In Early May by Mercury.
How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision? My personal experiences are all I have to influence my music and artistic vision. More recently, I’ve gotten a lot more honest, though.
What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work? I hope people leave my music with a sense of catharsis.
What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?
Music has taught me to be humble, because the folks most deserving of having an ego rarely ever do.
What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?
I’d love to play at Bonnaroo or Glastonbury.
If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why? Right now, I’d kill to collaborate with Sam Fender. Everything about the evolution of his sound inspires me and I think we’d make a banger together.

Looking toward the future, what’s your dream for the next chapter of your musical journey?
My dream is to sell out this tour I’m embarking upon in October and land some incredible support slots in 2027 whilst putting out my best album yet!
What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?
My listeners will discover that I’m a lot more reachable than other artists, and I’m dying to meet them.
