| Adam J. Salsberg in 18=Chai=Life |
To express their relief and joy, Adam's parents wanted to get him something personal and life affirming. They wanted it to be spiritual, but cool - something a guy like Adam would wear. Their internet search brought them to my 18=chai=life. Honored to be a teeny part of his journey back to a big, music filled life, I recently caught up with Adam. THIS (!!!) is what he's doing:
I've been busy at the studio, things are going really well for me
there. I recently started teaching a recording group for teenagers
twice a week with a youth program that is held in the same building as
the studio. I'm currently working on recording a mixtape with a rapper
named Duggie, and got to produce one of the beats for it as well. I've also been recording some tracks with Slugshot Malone. Other rappers
I've recorded include Dreezy, Big IL and Sly Polaroid. I've had the
pleasure to work with Malik Yusef on several occasions. Malik is a 5 time Grammy winning songwriter and poet, probably best known for his
work with Kanye West. Also recently, I've done commercials for
Providence St. Mel, a private school in Chicago.
At my home studio (called Space Jam) my favorite
things I've recorded are Oshwa, which is a really great band, as well
as solo artist Fleeting Image. Both of these were recorded and mixed by
my friend Seth Engel and I together. Seth and I also recorded and mixed a
compilation of Chicago solo artists, an idea we came up with ourselves.
It can be obtained free at redbeardrecords.bandcamp.com.
My band, Cage Match has one album out that is free to download at cagematchmusic.bandcamp.com,
and have new material coming out in the near future. Our music is
unexpectedly peaceful, contrary to the name. I have also composed and
recorded music for several of my brother's animations, which can be seen
at www.pokegravy.com.
Now that's a life.
Now that's a life.
