少年时代(1959-1975)
亚当斯于1959年11月7日出生在加拿大安大略省的金斯顿,父母是英国外交官。
由于父母从事外交工作,亚当斯小时就周游列国,其中包括英格兰、以色列、法国、葡萄牙和奥地利。
1973年亚当斯一家定居于加拿大的维多利亚。
1975年,亚当斯辍学,开始追求自己的音乐梦想。那时他只有15岁。
音乐生涯?70年代
虽然年纪不大,但亚当斯已把自己所有的精力放在了音乐上,辍学后,他加入了乐队,开始在酒吧里演出。1977年,他所在的乐队Sweeney Todd发行了一张名为“If Wishes Were Horses”
的专辑,并由他担任主唱。但是他的生活依然是艰苦的,他不得不经常靠打零工维持生活。
可正是在温哥华的一家唱片店打工时,他遇到了Jim Vallance,并与其开始了歌曲创作。现在回过头来看,这次偶然相遇成就了乐坛上的一对黄金搭档,为我们奉献了“Summer Of 69” “Heaven”等多首金曲。
1978年,18岁的亚当斯将自己的几个歌曲小样寄给了A&M唱片公司,并在不久与该公司签约。
80年代
亚当斯的第一张专辑,即他的同名专辑,于1980年2月发行,这也是“Adams-Vallance”的第一个产品。(该专辑取得金唱片销量)
在这段时间,亚当斯和Vallance还为Vallance的乐队Prism写了不少歌,其中“Don’t Let Him Know”成为Prism历史上唯一一首进入Billboard前四十名的歌曲,对于亚当斯,这也是他的第一次,但绝对不是他的唯一。
他的第二张专辑,You Want It,You Got It,在纽约录制完成,并于1981年发行。
第三张专辑,Cuts Like A Knife,于1983年发行,这是他第一张大获成功的专辑。其中主打单曲“Cuts Like A Knife”登上了Billboard的第八名。这张专辑中的歌曲一直是他演唱会上的常客。
1984 年11月5日,亚当斯迎来了自己的第二十五个生日,他的第四张专辑,Reckless,也在当天发行,在Billboard的专辑排行榜上, Reckless坐上了头把交椅,而这也带动了他单曲的走势,其中包括“Run To You”“Summer Of 69”和他的第一首#1单曲“Heaven”。(该专辑达五白金销量)
同年,他与Tina Turner合作的“It’s Only Love”获葛莱美提名。
亚当斯的第五张专辑,IntoThe Fire,于1987年发行,这是最后一张所有歌曲均由亚当斯和Vallance合作完成的专辑。
“Live! Live! Live!”是与1988年在比利时演唱会的现场录音,该演唱会通过MTV向全球直播。
90年代
Waking Up The Neighbours可谓是亚当斯音乐生涯中的巅峰之作,这张于1991年9月发行的专辑收录了(Everything I Do)I Do It For You-电影“Robin Hood:Prince Of Thieves”的主题曲。这张专辑和这首单曲在1991和1992年在多个国家登上榜首位置。其中单曲更是创造了在英国单曲排行榜连续16周排名第一和美国单曲销售连续17周冠军,销量300万的奇迹。
他的下一张专辑是于93年发行的精选辑“So Far So Good”包括一首新歌“Please Forgive Me”。
同年他还与Sting、Rod Stewart合作了单曲“All For Love”。
1996 -1999年亚当斯每年都发行一张专辑。其中1996年专辑“18 Till I Die”中歌曲“Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman”为他获得了第二个奥斯卡提名。97年的冬天,他发行了现场专辑MTV Unplugged,98年,他发行了录音室专辑On A Day Like Today,99年,他发行了精选辑The Best Of Me。
