By the time he was two, Adam had already displayed some musical talent.
Singing came much later, unless you count the video of four-year-old Adam, sporting a leather jacket and sunglasses, performing Ray Charlesโ โI Got A Woman.โ
Even though he demonstrated musical talent, as a youngster, Adam also excelled in sports. There was soccer, t-ball, and even ice hockey. The Mississippi Sea Wolves played in a rink an hour south of Hattiesburg, and his parents drove him there so he could participate in a league.
Adam also played baseball until he was 13, when he gave it up for golf. โI was away every weekend playing tournaments.โ Halfway through his Junior year in high school, he was offered a full golf scholarship to Delta State University. With offers for golf and basketball already on the table, after being talked into playing baseball his Senior year by his friends, the University of Southern Mississippi made its own offer of a baseball scholarship after just one year of playing. Adam accepted and went on to win three rings in four years as the Southern Miss. Conference USA Champ. He also played in the College World Series in 2009.
That decision changed the course of his life. โItโs unbelievable how much one decision can impact where life takes you,โ he says. His college roommates were on the baseball team with him โ and they were all guitar players. โThatโs where I learned my first chords. On Dec. 29, 2010, I wrote my first song while on vacation in the Dominican Republic.โ It was the first time out of the country for the Mississippi native who had only experienced Hattiesburg and family vacations in Florida. โI remember sitting on a hotel balcony on the third floor, watching people of all different ethnicities and walks of life. Iโd never seen any of that before, and that gave me the idea for my first song, โTravel On.โ I put it on YouTube and the next thing I knew, it had 450,000 views.โ
Adam wrote four more songs and released an EP while he was still playing baseball. Over one thousand people showed up for a CD release party in his hometown. Then Adam hit the road, and for the first time, sang live in front of people. Success on the road led to more songwriting and a full-length album. โI was driving back and forth to Nashville to write songs so I decided to move there to write with other people.โ Adam arrived in Music City on Oct. 15, 2012. โItโs a happy, driven city,โ he says. โEverybody is chasing after something they love to do.โ
Things moved relatively quickly for Adam in Nashville. In a little over a year, he had already experienced having his first song played on the radio. His mother called to let him know she heard โI Put It On Yaโ on SiriusXMโs The Highway, and Adam quickly tuned in so he could hear it himself. โHugh Freeze, the head football coach at Ole Miss, loves the song and blares it over the stadium speakers when the team is practicing.โ
He then met Jake LaGrone, who became his manager, and in 2015, signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV. Heโs played nearly 400 shows the last two years, but has scaled back live performances lately to allow more time for writing songs. Heโs penned upwards of 200 songs since the day โTravel Onโ was written on the balcony in the Dominican Republic, and in the last few months, several country superstars have put holds on some of his compositions, including Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker, Justin Moore and David Nail.
Whatโs next for the country artist whose diverse influences range from John Mayer to the Eagles and Chris Stapleton? Heโs about to record a new EP and has been taking meetings with various labels in Nashville. His dream is to play the big stadiums and arenas and every day brings him one step closer to fulfilling that dream. Look for his name on the charts soon โ both as a songwriter and as an artist, one of countryโs next superstars.

Keeper of the spare key to my heart
Say Iโฒll see you, say it'll be soon
โฒCause I can't get you outta my head, outta my head
So meet me in the city where the sun don't set
Letโฒs do anything we ainโฒt ever done yet
Baby, I'll give you a night that youโฒll never forget
โฒCause I can't sleep when I dream about you
Wanna be the trouble that you get into
Want you in my arms, weโฒll figure out the rest
Meet me in the city where the sun don't set
One way ticket wherever you pick it
There's no quick fix for how high I get on you
Dive in your eyes where the streetlights
Stay on all night, baby, tell me when, tell me when
Meet me in the city where the sun donโฒt set
Letโฒs do anything we ain't ever done yet
Baby, Iโฒll give you a night that you'll never forget

Meet me in the city where the sun don't set
The lyrics to Adam Doleac's "Meet Me in the City" describe a narrator who cannot stop thinking about a woman with "green eyes" who holds the "spare key" to his heart. He invites her to "meet him in the city where the sun don't set" and promises to give her a night she'll never forget. He wants to "be the trouble" she gets into and be with her to "figure out the rest." The song seems to be about a passionate and reckless love and the desire to escape reality and live in the moment.
The city is used as a backdrop, a place where anything is possible, where they can do anything they've never done before. The line "one way ticket wherever you pick it" suggests a willingness to go anywhere with her, and the repeated refrain to "meet me in the city" implies that the city is a place of emotional significance for the singer and the woman he's singing to.
