Adam Warren | 3SIX5

Adam Warren's love of music began in Roanoke, Virginia, where he grew up in Southern culture in a family and community unified by religion. Here he learned a great appreciation for the gospel music inherent in the church. His step-father is a Pentecostal minister, and his mother sang in  locally famous gospel group's. These factors inspired Adam, who draws upon his roots of traditional gospel and soul and adds the sounds of modern R&B and hip-hop to create a unique and soulful sound. 

While his older sister's could go hang out, Adam's mom wouldn't let him go with them,  Adam would stay at home and watch music video's and listen to the radio and try to imitate the riff's that he heard, readying himself to create his own inventive sound.Adam tried playing piano at age 10, and the organ in his step-father's church, but soon lost interest.

Adam's mother, Beverly Bratton, introduced him to jazz and soul greats such as Miles Davis and Marvin Gaye along with acclaimed gospel musicians such as Daryl Coley and John P. Kee, Clark Sister to name a few. Bratton remained involved in her son's musicalability by purchasing for him his first drum set and critiquing his first songs.

    

    

At 16, Adam was asked to be in his first band Eclipse, Monte Gill and Zack Castle, and began singing and writing his first original songs. The group performed a combination of original material and covers of their favorite groups Boys II Men and  Jodeci songs. But broke up due to graduating high school. 

But Adam soon joined another group made up of him and Rory Thweatt, and called themselves Royatly. They performed in local community events and got a great responses and decided to try to persue music full-time. So in August of 2006 they moved to Atlanta Ga. but after many disappointments they split, but are still great friends. 

Along with r&b, hip-hop also influenced Adam as modern music, Adam is an extreem fan of rap.  "Me and my friends used to have rap battles in the lunchroom during high school". Hip Hop is still apart of me.
