Adam Paddock

Adam Paddock is an indie/singer-songwriter/pop artist from Columbus, OH, based in Nashville, TN. The intersection between energetic pop & intimate singer-songwriter is where his diverse discography feels right at home. Double-take-worthy horn arrangement married to unassuming, soaring vocals driven by familiar, acoustic instrumentation is the formula; power-packed, community-focused live shows are the result. People are the point.


As strong of an entrance as one can dream to make, Adam Paddock burst into the Ohio scene when he opened for Waka Flocka Flame &amp; MAX as his first full-band show EVER, in the fall of 2020. Since this grand entrance, Paddock has opened for other internationally-acclaimed acts such as <a href="spotify:artist:5JMLG56F1X5mFmWNmS0iAp" data-name="Chelsea Cutler">Chelsea Cutler</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3gIRvgZssIb9aiirIg0nI3" data-name="Jeremy Zucker">Jeremy Zucker</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5V61WloeXM3XLslOqJ8RES" data-name="Abe Parker">Abe Parker</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3wWtfT7S2uVJJ3hGZlOLkZ" data-name="Judah &amp; the Lion">Judah &amp; the Lion</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3gggmBN0erstm3YJvEGe3t" data-name="Jake Miller">Jake Miller</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3gBjSrNsYzzbeo0nwsL21J" data-name="ella jane">ella jane</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6P9fFbQ875B2bnmdiYwN9A" data-name="Kings Kaleidoscope">Kings Kaleidoscope</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:19lQ2rJLlP71FOKESiMNJT" data-name="Ripe">Ripe</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0zBShgJCo19qQZtM0CZxJv" data-name="Truslow">Truslow</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3ftsk3ROAgHws85G83ppw1" data-name="Anna Vaus">Anna Vaus</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4q7Td1MO6rNg3UCvqrzz1k" data-name="Abby Holliday">Abby Holliday</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6d9rhdwIVsqblUFXu7qEBp" data-name="Gable Price and Friends">Gable Price and Friends</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3BRSFkEbxBXsZASWPOMOuP" data-name="Post Sex Nachos">Post Sex Nachos</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5vh3TBzvI4nASt2A1KfgcR" data-name="Phoneboy">Phoneboy</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5d9MnG7M9Kj02Aa8XQ06mA" data-name="The Wonderlands">The Wonderlands</a>.
