Comment: To clarify User:Mia Kokkoni (the account that submitted this draft) and User:Robinlewisadams 1 (the account that submitted Draft:Robin Adams (musician)) are the same person. This was an WP:AGF misunderstanding, no deceptive intent as they have been transparent throughout. I have advised them to abandon to Mia Kokkoni and only use Robinlewisadams 1 going forward.

Robin Adams (Born 21 November 1983) is a Scottish singer-songwriter and guitarist.[1] He has released five studio albums, from Down to Reverie (2009), to Wrong Road Home (2021). His music is often compared to Scottish singer songwriters Bert Jansch and John Martyn. He is the son of Chris Adams and Pauline Adams, the fronting members of Scottish folk rock band String Driven Thing.
Early life
Adams was born in Glasgow, Scotland. He grew up in a musical environment and began writing songs with his father Chris Adams (1944–2016) from an early age. At 17 he began playing lead guitar with String Driven Thing. He performed live for the first time in 2001, supporting Space Ritual in Blackpool at The Empress Ballroom.
Solo career
In 2009, Adams started his solo career by winning the Billy Kelly Songwriting Award[2] and shortly after, released his debut solo album Down to Reverie. In 2011, he released his second album, Be Gone to mixed reviews.[3][4]
In 2012, he became unable to tour due to health complications. Since then he has continued to release new music. In 2015 he released an album of sparsely arranged songs titled The Garden[5] with lead single "Holy Smoke",[6] featuring cello from Pete Harvey of Modern Studies.
In 2016, Adams curated the charity album Refugee,[7][8][9]raising money for Migrant Offshore Aid Station. The album included contributions from Bonnie Prince Billy, Richard Dawson and Alasdair Roberts.
In 2019, his song "Holy Smoke"[6] was covered by Emma Pollock of The Delgados on the compilation album Various Artists, The Music of Others, Glad Vol1.[10]
In 2020 Adams worked with The Bert Jansch Foundation[11], with his contribution to Around the World in 80 Plays.[12]
In 2021, Celtic Music Radio awarded Adams: Album of the Year,[13] for his album One Day.
In his most recent record Wrong Road Home[14], released on Holy Smokes Records, Adams made a stylistic departure from his usual folk material, paying homage American Country and Blues songwriters such as Hank Williams, Blind Willie McTell and Michael Hurley. The album included musical contributions from Canadian folk duo Kacy & Clayton.
