ADMT

Adam Taylor, known as ADMT, has built a reputation for raw, honest songs drawn from real life. Born in Doncaster, he first entered music as a teenage drummer and even toured the United States with a local band. When the group stopped performing, he returned home and took a job in a bottling factory. "It didn't feed my soul watching bottles go past," he recalls. A friend later encouraged him to try singing. Reluctant at first, ADMT eventually agreed and performed his first show at a Sofar Sounds house gig in Camden. While more acoustic gigs followed, his mental health declined and he found himself struggling deeply back in his childhood bedroom. A turning point came when songwriter friend Mikey Gormley urged him to write about how he felt. Together they wrote "Prison," a song about feeling trapped in your own mind. The process proved therapeutic and helped him discover purpose in songwriting, alongside beginning NHS therapy. As his confidence grew, ADMT began busking across Yorkshire, eventually earning enough to leave the factory. His breakthrough came when an acoustic cover of 50 Cent's "Best Friend" went viral and was shared by the rapper himself. Since then, ADMT has released a string of heartfelt songs and built a loyal fanbase, using his music to remind listeners they're not alone.
