Bryan Adams

Brian Adams was born in Canada to a family of immigrants from England. Since his father was a diplomat, until the age of 14, Brian traveled the world with his family - he was in England, Israel, Austria, Portugal, where he learned the local language. It wasn't until 1973 that the family finally returned to Canada, and a year later Brian left school to sing in the rock band Sweeney Todd and release an album with them. According to Brian, at that time he was so carried away by music that he was no longer interested in anything. Around the same period, Adams met drummer Jim Vallance - together the young musicians began to write songs and became so successful that famous performers began to order material for them - Kiss, Rod Stewart, Bonnie Raitt and others ... Brian, however, decided to develop a solo career - in 1978 he sent a demo tape to A&M Records and soon signed a contract with them for a symbolic amount of one dollar. His first album and second albums enjoyed modest success, with 1983's "Cuts Like A Knife" becoming a real hit, mainly thanks to the singles of the album of the same name and "Straight From The Heart". Even more successful was the next album, "Reckless" (1984). The song "It's Only Love" from this album, co-performed with Tina Turner, was nominated for a Grammy.
