While spending summers with his dad in Nashville, Adam found himself in and out of studios on Music Row with his uncle and professional session musician, Scotty Sanders. It was then that Adam fell in love with the recording process, and the creative side of the music business. He knew this was where he was meant to be.

With a plan of moving to Music City following high school graduation, Adam would spend as much time as possible, teaching himself to write songs about the things in life he knew about. In 2007, Adam made the move to Nashville. While working construction on the side to pay the bills, Adam’s songwriting opened to co-writing, and building core relationships in the business.

After just two years, Adam landed his first publishing deal with Big Yellow Dog Music and has had songs recorded by super stars such as Luke Bryan, whose album Crash My Party (featuring Sanders' "Out Like That") had the third highest debut of any record in 2013. Additionally, Adam just got two more songs recorded by friend, collaborator, and rising star, Cole Swindell, and has several other artists asking for more from him. His most recent cut is titled “Sounds of Summer” which is featured on Dierks Bently’s seventh studio album, Riser. Adam continues to write songs, while working on fulfilling his next goal of becoming a household name in country music.

In the fall of 2013, Adam signed with world-wide talent agency, William Morris Endeavor, and has been burning up the road, sharing stages with the likes of Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Cole Swindell, Thomas Rhett, Randy Houser, Dustin Lynch, Josh Thompson, Easton Corbin, The Cadillac Three and more.

Adam Sanders is currently gearing up for his debut single release, “Nothin’ To Do But Drink”, which premiered on SiriusXM’s The Highway in June 2014.

Peach floatin' in a Mason
Little buzz chasin'
Friday night high got the short skirts shakin'
Flat bills flipped back, belts buckles blinkin' back
out in the cud got four-wheel drives to Cadillacs
tonight, ight, ya tonight
Just sippin' on the good times, ya got no where to be but out here in the country
in the moonlight, so reach down in the cooler, pull another one out of that cold ice

pop a top, don't stop
No, dont even think
We got all night to do our thing, we got nothin' to do but drink
We got a hot song bumpin'
Door speakers thumpin'
Fire poppin' hot
Got there forty acres jumpin'
Ain't doin nothin wrong
We goin all night long, you got a cup fill it up strong,
Just sippin' on the good times
yeah, got no where to be
but out here in the country, in the moonlight,
So reach down in the cooler, pull another one outta that cold ice
Pop a top, dont stop
Dont even think, we got all night to do our thing
We got nothin to do but drink
