Adam Holland isn't your typical country artist. He's a bricklayer from Northern Ireland who found his voice in the most unlikely place: a late-night session where Kip Moore's "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck" changed the direction of his life.
From rock bands and karaoke nights to two years touring Ireland and now a solo career, his story is the kind country music was made to tell. Real, gritty, and full of love, family and a stubborn push through fear.
His debut single is out, a new one is on the way, and his debut album is due in 2027.

The more I sang country music, the more my life's purpose began to make sense. It was just about getting over the fear of singing in front of others.

The road here
A journey worth singing about
1 of 6 chapters
Young
Born to sing. He just didn't know it yet.
Westlife, Busted, McFly and Garth Brooks played in his parents' car. The people closest to him said he'd never make it, and for years he believed them.
Teens
Garage bands and heavy guitars
Before country there was Avenged Sevenfold and Five Finger Death Punch. A teenage garage band gave him a place to let everything out.
2011
One night. One song. Everything changed.
A dare at a friend's house and a request to Alexa. Kip Moore's "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck" filled the room, and Adam was hooked on country for good.
Stage
Karaoke, courage and three wins in a row
His wife took him to a karaoke night against his will. Hands shaking, he sang. He won. Then he won again, and again. The voice he was told was worthless had a room on its feet.
Road
Two years across Ireland
As part of the duo Brooks & Combs he played north and south: brunches, events, and his first festival at Octoberfest in Derry. Real craft, built in front of real crowds.
Now
His own voice. His own songs.
Coached by Benny through The Fearless Voice Method, he released Weight of My Cross, played Dolly's Bar in Slane on the Luke Combs weekend, and has a new single on the way.

Modern country with a working man's heart
Influences
Raw and heartfelt
Shaped by Lee Brice, Kenny Chesney, Brantley Gilbert, Tim McGraw and Luke Combs. Songs built for open roads, late nights and stages that want everything you've got.
Songwriting
Stories he has lived
Love for his wife, dancing his daughter to sleep, the fear of performing, and the joy of finally finding his voice. Nothing made up.
What's next
New single, then the album
A new single is coming soon, and his first full studio album is set for 2027. Original songs made to heal and to prove Northern Ireland has a country voice worth hearing.
