Biography
His musical life began at just aged 7 when he started playing piano, but many moons later Sammy has ditched the classical Beethoven symphony and entered the underworld of rap music.
2010 was Sammy's ground-breaking year. His debut album, fittingly titled 'Boston's Boy' nearly sent iTunes into a breakdown as it smashed the Hip-Hop charts. This was down to the fundamental success of the single 'Driving Me Crazy.' But Sammy also remixed plenty of covers and this all tallied up and sent Sammy number 1 in the iTunes chart. His lyrics were fun and his beats were catchy, simple but affective. It worked, fans were loving Sammy's tunes but it did take the Boston boy some time to follow up his debut album with a scorching second record.
Homecoming, slightly stolen from Kanye possibly was released in 2013 and didn't do as well as his debut album. However hard-core fans are still turning up to live shows and watching him rap night after night.
His music is more poppy then other rap music. It sounds a lot like a more Boston produced Macklemore, more light hearted. Dappy could even be linked to Sammy Adams, don't know if he would be happy with that but the music is there to suggest it.
Live reviews
‘I wanna go all night longer, a couple rounds going down like water’…I could dance and rap along with Sammy Adams tracks all day, so when I got the chance to see him in concert I was so excited. With so many epic singles and two fantastic studio albums, I was wondering what song’s I’d be lucky enough to hear, and which ones would be missed out.
Turns out Adams is on exactly the same page as me, and picked all my favourite songs to perform which was just amazing. He didn’t miss one hit, and even played some newer tracks. I listen to Adam’s tracks a lot, but nothing compares to a live performance. The dedication he gives to each and every lyric he’s crafted is so evident in a live show, and watching him get really into the music made me fall in love with songs that I had previously disregarded.
Sammy is full of energy, both to put into his performance, and to interact with the crowd. Unfortunately I had to shoot off right afterwards, but he was sticking around to take photographs and sign autographs, which I thought was so genuine and awesome of him. So great to meet genuine guy in this industry. I’d definitely see him again.

Samuel Adams Wisner better known as Sammy Adams is the Massachusetts pop rapper causing a storm since his appearance from beneath the radar in 2008. Despite being only 27 years old, Adams confessed to always having an interest in rap and began writing lyrics and spitting rhymes whilst still at school and this dedication seems to translate into his live show.
Although he has not yet released a debut album, the rapper has created a slick live show that successfully showcases the strong work found on his EPs 'Boston's Boy' and 'Homecoming' along with his own singles and collaborations. He proves he is not afraid to shy away from the pop market, having already collaborated with Enrique Inglesias and Taylor Swift, dropping a snippet of the latter's track before beginning his own single 'Only One'. The audience seems to know his music well, with the devoted fans attempted to sing along throughout before the whole room gets involved for a finale of 'L.A Story'. The debut album is assured to go down a treat when it is finally released.
