Adam Stafford Biography

Adam Stafford is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on February 24, 1982 in City of Sunderland, City of Sunderland, United Kingdom. Adam Stafford (born 24 February 1982) is a musician and filmmaker based in Falkirk, Scotland. He was the lead singer and songwriter with critically acclaimed Scottish band Y’all is Fantasy Island as well as an award-winning short film maker and solo artist. Stafford was born in Sunderland, England in 1982. In the late 1980s his family moved to Falkirk, where he still resides.

In 2010 Stafford directed the promotional video for fellow Scottish act The Twilight Sad’s single “Seven Years of Letters” from their second album “Forget the Night Ahead”. The video won Video of the Year 2011 at The Scottish New Music Awards

In August 2011 Stafford issued the album “Build a Harbour Immediately” which was produced by Paul Savage (Mogwai/Delgados) in Chem19 Studios in Hamilton. The LP was released to great acclaim in Scotland and made many end-of-year polls within the online blogging community. The album blended what Stafford had been experimenting with thus far: atmospheric acoustic folk and a capela experimentalism with an unusual sway for melodic, hook-laden pop choruses.

2012 proved to be just as busy a year for artistic output. In April Stafford issued a split 7″ single with Phantom Band singer Rick Redbeard entitled “Now We’re Dancing/Vanishing Tanks” on Gerry Loves Records and in August he produced (as well as contributing to) an EP cassette with the Falkirk outfit Sweethearts of The Prison Rodeo entitled “Welcome/Vessels Shifted”. Stafford’s side consisted of four minimal guitar instrumentals written for film.

Stafford has released a number of Solo LP’s including “Awnings” (2009), “Miniature Porcelain Horse Emporium” (2010) and mini album “Music in the Mirabel” (2010) which is a collection of covers and re-workings with tracks ranging from Daniel Johnston to Austrian Poet Georg Trakl. On these releases Stafford experiments with vocal looping and textural soundscapes. He was quoted as saying “I’d been experimenting with looping and layering vocals before – inspired, primarily, by Steve Reich’s vocal arrangements on Music For 18 Musicians and Edinburgh artist Wounded Knee”.
