A native of Carson City, NV, multi-instrumentalist singer and songwriter Adam Palmer first entered the music scene after signing a recording and publishing deal with Sony/PLG in September of 2013 as a founding member of Sony/PLG act I AM THEY. The band released their self-titled debut album on January 27th, 2015, which entered the Billboard Christian Chart at No. 9. Often drawing comparison to musical acts such as Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, and CCM peers Rend Collective, I Am They's debut album and subsequent singles were known for their "lively folk sound and tight vocal harmonies". Amidst extensive touring with artists such as Matt Maher, Crowder, and MercyMe in support of their successful debut album, I AM THEY were nominated at the 46th Annual GMA Dove Awards for New Artist of the Year, losing out to Centricity recording artist Lauren Daigle. After departing the band in late summer of 2016, Adam Palmer shifted his focus towards songwriting and has crafted songs for several other CCM artists as well as songs for an eventual solo release.
