Without doubt a talented singer songwriter and not one to 'put up and rest up, Ade is constantly delivering his very own brand of Americana/Roots/Country music.
As well as the catchy numbers that have his audiences tapping their feet, he has more recently achieved beautiful depth in harmonies & musical arrangements sung straight from the heart from his own personal experiences.
Ade started writing and playing his songs from the age of around 12 years, appearing on the gig circuit at 17 years of age mainly singing his own originals and covers. However, he quickly realised that his own songs were being so well received that he sung them more and more. Now these days he just sings the songs he has written himself.
Regularly lining up with some of the finest musicians in his genre, Ade’s sound continues to evolve and we can expect more songs that will have you wanting more in the future.
