WORLD WIDE WOMAN: MEET ADIAM, THE ERITREAN-SWEDISH GENRE-BENDING ARTIST
BY MEGAN SAAD MARCH 16, 2016
Adiam Dymott was born in Uppsala, Sweden to Eritrean parents, where she grew up surrounded by strong women in the form of her mother and four sisters, to whom she remains inseparable from. The 80s baby was singing in the church choir from the age of four and went on to develop an eclectic taste for music, naming The Wu-Tang Clan, Biggie, Nirvana and Garbage as some of her favorite artists. She started working as a receptionist at a local music studio, where she began recording demos for the artists in need of her vocal talents. This is where she was scouted and signed to Razzia Records.
Her first album, Adiam Dymott, dropped in 2009 with standout tracks “Miss You” and “Pizza.” The tatted singer prefers to dress mainly in black and describes her sound as a mixture of post-punk and Hip Hop attitude, intelligent pop lyricism and soulful R&B vocals against an EDM beat. Her lyrics are often deeply personal and ominous, which are reflected in the monochrome strong visual identity of her videos.
HERSource is proud to premiere Adiam’s latest single, ‘Runaway (Exile Remix)’ featuring Blu, which will appear on her upcoming EP2 Quiet Desperation later this month. LA-based rapper/producer duo Blu and Exile flip this ethereal track into a gritty Hip Hop number, with Exile’s slick production and Blu’s conscious verse about aiming higher in life. Adiam’s hypnotic melodies describe escaping from a negative situation and being free to pursue whatever life has in store for her.
