Adam Lanceley was only ten years old when a car accident left him seriously injured. Sustaining a severe brain injury, a crushed pelvis and shattered legs, doctors advised him he was unlikely to walk or talk again. Against all odds, Adam not only proved them wrong but has taken his remarkable recovery to the extreme, running marathons and now carving out a career as a singer-songwriter. However, though he has largely recovered from his physical injuries, he continues to live each day with the spectre of serious mental health issues. This album is Adam’s fight back against one of the toughest periods of his life.

Adam’s latest forthcoming album, Rainbow’s Legacy, is, remarkably, his eighth album to date, a testament to both his prolific song-writing ability as well as his sheer determination to make the most of every day. With his distinctive 1960’s Californian sound and Beach Boys-esque melodies, it is an album which very nearly never happened, his illness leading him to even question whether making music was worth it anymore.

His ever-evolving mental health issues make every-day life a nightmarish world where major anxiety issues, depression and OCD make every decision a Herculean effort. Working with one of the country’s leading mental health experts to find a suitable medical answer, it is through music that he has found an outlet to express his feelings, a way to share his thoughts and a reason to face each day with a smile.

Adam himself explains:
“It affects me on a daily basis in more ways than I can mention, from struggling to make myself get up and face the day - even being disappointed to wake up and face reality in the morning - to the inability to hold my concentration or make decisions, it is a constant battle. On a daily basis I suffer from numerous panic attacks. They not only take away my ability to be rational and composed but also are mentally exhausting.
I always try to be positive though. My music is a major outlet and who knows, without mental problems I might not have felt like writing stuff down and composing”.

Although he is very secretive about the meaning behind his lyrics, they are always written in the hope that the messages hidden within will inspire other people who are going through difficulties of all kinds. It is typical of Adam’s resilience that the tracks retain an ever-present optimism. Digging deep into his well of recordings, Rainbow’s Legacy is led by the single, “What’ll Save Me Now?”
