Sammy Adams

Born Samuel Adams Wisner on August 14, 1987 in Massachusetts, rapper Sammy Adams started recording tracks at home while attending Trinity College. He had a viral smash when he refashioned the Asher Roth track “I Love College” into “I Hate College (Remix)”. A handful of further YouTube releases led to the 2010 EP Boston’s Boy, which captured his good-time, dance-oriented vibe on singles like “Tab Open”, “Just Sayin’”, and “Driving Me Crazy”, and reached number 73 on the album chart. Not long after a slot on the Lollapalooza tour’s 2011 stop in Chicago, Adams signed with RCA, and released a series of singles for the major label over the next four years. 2012’s “Only You” had some success on the charts, but it was eclipsed by “Finally Found You”, a number 24 hit for Enrique Iglesias that featured Adams. He released the EP Homecoming in 2013, as well as the single “L.A. Story”, a collaboration with Mike Posner. He parted ways with RCA and released his debut album, The Long Way, in 2016 on 1^st Round Records. He left 1^st Round and, over the next few years, released singles in collaboration with a variety of artists including TELYKast and Jayceeoh.
