Needless to say, we love Addam. We tell people all the time how much we love him, how great he is, how responsible he is, how impressive his music is. Truth is, we live him like a son.
People may hear him and fall in love with his talent, his silkier than silk voice, his mad guitar and piano skills. But the Addam we know is so much more than that.
He is kind, giving, a good big brother to our three other kids, respectful of us, his real parents. He's a good college student, a hard worker at Sherri's daycare.
Basically, we can't say enough about him. We believe in his talent completely but that's not what is going to make him successful. As a friend, Amber, said just now at this, the first concert she has attended of his, "I want him to be successful and to make it, but I don't want to see him polluted by the music industry." I couldn't agree more. As strong as his convictions are, the influences, I know, are incredibly relentless.
His character is the definition of success to me. He could have been bitter about what he didn't have growing up, but he chose to work hard at his talent. He taught himself piano at age 6. No Xbox around, no time sucking cable t.v. just a boy and his keyboard. Then a guitar a couple years ago, then singing, then songwriting.
What's your excuse?
I'm convicted.
