At the young age of 13, Adam Gregory signed his first record deal with Sony Music Canada. Gregory’s debut album The Way I’m Made earned him a gold record in Canada and nominations for best country male artist and best new solo artist at the Junos.
By the time Gregory had learned to drive, he was opening for artists such as Alan Jackson, Keith Urban and Lonestar.
“I was touring pretty heavily through junior high and high school,” remembers Gregory. “I'd take my homework on the road and then stand by the stage every night and sing every word to those artists’ songs. It was a great way to pick up a few pointers that I still remember and use today.”
In 2006, Gregory made the move to Nashville, Tennessee, and released his debut U.S. single, “Crazy Days.” The song became a top 40 hit. The follow-up release, “What It Takes,” led to more chart success and a chance to star in a motion picture in 2009. Gregory accepted a role alongside John Schneider in the inspirational film, WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?), released in the U.S. in 2010.
Here’s a message from Gregory:
Now, at age 26, this veteran is back with a new EP called Different Places.
“Anybody who knows me knows that I’m a family guy first and foremost,” he says. “The music on this record reflects who I am and where I am in my life. It’s positive and refreshing.
“It’s funny,” he continues, “music can be very influential; it’s with people through the best of times and heals people through the worst of times. I’m really so thankful that I’m able to do this for a living!”
The disc contains six tracks and the first single is “High On You.” Gregory co-wrote four of the six songs, including the single. A video for “High On You” was released a few years ago. The song has been an audience favourite, but was never available on an album. Now Gregory has reworked the tune for the new disc. Here’s the original video:
