Not a “Homegrown Songwriter from Our Sweet Home Alabama” but
a songwriter with an interesting story to tell.
Singer/Songwriter Sean Patrick Adams was born in Dallas, Texas, lived in the Panama Canal Zone for 17 years and now resides in Corning, New.York. He started playing guitar at age 14 but did not start writing songs until later in life.
“Well, I will say that the songs I write come from the
heart. After losing my wife that I still loved very much to divorce, I started
to write songs as a form of therapy for myself. I wrote down the good and bad
feelings that I had and started composing songs that expressed the way I felt.
This was a form of healing for me and I discovered purely by accident that my
songs were a hit with all my friends. They could relate to the things I said.
This was the beginning of an incredible journey for me!
Most of my first songs were about love, hate and hurt
feelings…sad songs. I got past those feelings and started really learning how
to write songs. I started exploring other genres and topics of expression in
Christian Praise & Worship … songs about saving the planet… about life
and death and the hurdles we sometime face by just living. I have survived and
conquered depression, addiction and feeling that being adopted meant I was
worthless.
Finally, I now feel that I’m coming into my own in life. I
know who I am, what I want to accomplish. I’m still new to all of this but I’m
very excited about what the future holds. I have been approached by a couple of
music labels and producers to make my music mainstream.
My two best friends, who are awesome musicians, are in
training for the ministry. I hope to work with them to help with suicide
intervention for teens and young adults. I would also like to start or work
with an organization or ministry to work with other adopted children who now
feel as I used to feel. To help them understand that they are very special and
God put them here for a reason.
