Samuel Adams Wisner, known professionally as Sammy Adams, was born on August 14, 1987, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He spent his early years in Wayland, Massachusetts, attending Beaver Country Day School before transferring to Wayland High School. Adams’ musical journey began at age seven with piano lessons. By age eleven, he was improvising and creating his own beats, drawing influences from classic rock, rock, classical, and blues genres. Initially aspiring to be a producer, he started writing raps in middle and high school and began recording songs on his MacBook in 2008 during his college years at Trinity College, where he also played varsity soccer.
Adams gained significant attention in September 2009 with his “I Hate College (Remix)” of Asher Roth’s “I Love College,” which garnered over 10 million views on YouTube. His debut EP, “Boston’s Boy,” released on March 4, 2010, by 1st Round Records, topped iTunes’ hip-hop charts and reached No. 73 on the Billboard 200. This success was driven by the single “Driving Me Crazy,” a track that later led to an on-stage arrest at Kansas State University in September 2010 during a performance. In 2011, he performed at Lollapalooza in Chicago and subsequently signed with RCA Records of Sony in late 2011, marking a significant step in his career.
Under RCA Records, Adams released promotional singles like “Blow Up” (November 2011) and “Summertime” (March 2012). His television debut was on Conan O’Brien’s show in January 2012, performing “Blow Up.” The single “Only One,” released in April 2012, brought him mainstream radio attention and was featured in AT&T’s 2012 Summer Olympics commercial. In August 2012, he appeared as himself on the CW series “90210.” He embarked on the “All Night Longer” tour in Fall 2012 and collaborated on a remix of Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” in November 2012. After parting ways with RCA in 2015, he rejoined 1st Round Records and released his debut LP, “The Long Way,” on March 24, 2016. Since 2017, Adams has been an independent artist, releasing singles such as “Shining” (August 2017) and “Driving” (November 2017).
