ABOUT THIS ARTIST

Adam Scrimshire was 14 when he started making music on an Amiga 500. Within a couple of years he self-recorded and released his first album.

Coming to London in the late 90s to study audio engineering, it was in 2006 Wah Wah 45s signed him as "Scrimshire". His three albums on the imprint, Along Came the Devil One Night…, The Hollow and Bight, were widely praised by Gilles Peterson (calling The Hollow one of his albums of the year in 2011), Huey Morgan, Nemone, and Don Letts.

After a 6 year hiatus, in 2019 he followed up with the album Listeners on his newly established Albert’s Favourites label. Collaborations with Georgia Anne Muldrow, Emma-Jean Thackray, Madison McFerrin and more, got played on radio worldwide. The record was an Album of the Day on BBC Radio 6 Music.

In 2020 Scrimshire followed up with Believers Vol. 1, including songs written with long-time hero and influence Omar as well as K.O.G., Penya, and Tamar Collocutor.

His sixth album Nothing Feels Like Everything was released in October 2021. Louder Than War called it a “technically flawless album. Every note transmits authenticity and warmth”. Huey Morgan called it “an awesome album” on his BBC Radio 6 Music show. Journalist Joe Muggs referred to it as “a masterpiece”.

In 2022 Scrimshire was named in the Guardian as one of three crucial soul-music producers in the UK today and the album was nominated for Album of the Year at Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Awards.
