Today we’d like to introduce you to Cirice Adams
Hi Cirice, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I sang a lot as a kid, not necessarily very good but I sang a lot for sure. Choir was a big part of my academic career from elementary school all the way into college but I didn’t dedicate my life to music until my parents got me a guitar when I was 9. I started writing and performing songs in middle school and started a band that lasted for almost a decade. I dedicated a large part of my formative years to Scarlette Saturn and I learned a lot from it. I experimented, I learned, I practiced, and I grew up. The early years of Scarlette Saturn was a bunch of kids and we came out of it grown adults with different struggles, experiences, and even music taste. Those days are finished now but we continue to fine craft our art in our own separate but beautiful ways.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The road was rocky and ended with a brick wall.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I first came into the Atlanta scene as a notable local prog-musician during the early days of Scarlette Saturn. That sound would surely change as we got into high school. The band then suddnely changed directory and started making pop-punk music (most recordings of this era never saw the light of day) and it was not very good. One of the best transitions we made as we came out of high school was moving into a raw emo sort of sound with many experimental elements.
After the band split up, I have journeyed more into indie folk acoustic music and have been experimenting with old home analog recording styles, utilizing 4-track recorders and porta-studios.
Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
You just have to go to local shows. Every weekend, go to a local show. You don’t even have to talk to anyone, people will just start to recognize you. Go to local shows.
