Adam James Yokum is an American singer and songwriter. He was raised in the hills of Whitmer, West Virginia - a town with a reported population of just 82 people. He holds his roots close to him, crediting his music taste and unique stvle to his home in the mountains.
At the top of 2023, he started rolling out (what he hopes to be) his breakout project, EVERGREEN. The current singles: 20 Something, evergreen & Right My Wrongs (with Huey Mack & Philip Bowen) are a great representation of what to expect from Adam moving forward blending rap/pop/country. Adam was once described as "an Appalachian tinged Post Malone" & that felt pretty accurate.
