Bryan Guy Adams was born on 5 November 1959 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada,to British parents, Elizabeth Jane (née Watson) and Captain Conrad J. Adams, who emigrated to Canada from Plymouth, England, in the 1950s. Adams’ father, a Sandhurst officer in the British Army, joined the Canadian Army and later spent time as a United Nations peacekeeping observer for Canada, which led to him becoming a Canadian foreign service diplomat. Adams travelled with his parents to diplomatic postings in Portugal (where he attended the American International School of Lisbon) and Vienna, Austria, during the 1960s, and to Israel during the early 1970s. Adams has an older brother, Bruce.
By age 17, Adams had started working in the Vancouver studio scene, as a background vocalist for the CBC and backing local artists and with Motown keyboardist Robbie King, who Adams attributes to giving him his first salaried session. In late 1976, Adams became the vocalist for the band Sweeney Todd, who had only a few months earlier hit number 1 on the Canadian charts with the song “Roxy Roller”. Adams sang lead on a re-make of “Roxy Roller” for the US market, which made it to number 99 on the US charts. Sweeney Todd later released the album If Wishes Were Horses (1977) with Adams—billed as “Bryan Guy Adams”—on lead vocals; Adams also co-wrote three of the album’s songs. The album’s title track, written by producer Martin Shaer, was a minor hit on the Canadian charts, peaking at number 59. Despite the band’s mild success, however, Adams left Sweeney Todd after less than a year.
Around this time, Adams was often seen sitting in with cover bands. He and guitarist Keith Scott met during those club years and still work together today. Heaven Bryan Adams karaoke instrumental
In 1978 at age 18, Adams met Jim Vallance through a mutual friend in a Vancouver music store. Vallance was the former drummer and principal songwriter for Vancouver-based rock band Prism and had recently quit that band to focus on a career as a studio musician and songwriter. They agreed to meet at Vallance’s home studio a few days later, which proved to be the beginning of a partnership which still exists in 2016. Later in 1978, Adams signed to A&M records for one dollar. Some of the first demos written in 1978 have surfaced over the years, most notably “I’m Ready” (recorded for both the album Cuts Like a Knife and later his release for MTV Unplugged) and “Remember”, which was recorded on his first album. Both songs were covered by other artists even before his first album was released. Also recorded during this time was the disco song “Let Me Take You Dancing” featuring Adams’ vocal sped up to meet the 122BPM dance tempo. The song made the Canadian RPM chart in March 1979 along with its B-Side “Don’t Turn Me Away”. “Straight From The Heart” was also written during this period. The song was later recorded for Adams’s third album “Cuts Like A Knife” in 1983 and released as a single, becoming Adams’s first top 10 record in the U.S. in 1983.Heaven Bryan Adams karaoke instrumental
Adams’s self-titled debut album was released in February 1980, and marked the beginning of what was to become a long songwriting partnership between Adams and co-writer Jim Vallance. With the exception of “Remember” and “Wastin’ Time”, most of the album was recorded from 29 October up until 29 November 1979 at Manta Studios and co-produced by Adams and Vallance.
