There has been much fuss about Adam gives up with Oceanoand for good reason. It sucks that it happened this way, but sometimes it just happens that way.

Adam has spoken quite openly about his feelings about it all over the past few days, and he’s offered another “official” update on the matter:

“I’m moving on from Oceano for real, for real. Great memories but an even bigger future ahead of me. I’ve been doing it for 15 years. GG! Let’s push forward! I know it may sound strange at first but hear me out: I don’t like being in the limelight. I always do my best and have often exceeded my own expectations. I enjoy sharing my interests and hobbies with others. Especially those who enjoy it too, but I don’t like to be too focused on when there is nothing creative to share or discuss. Lately I’ve been running away from the same thing I used to run towards, the stage. The stage was never really my favorite part of being a musician. It was high on the list when I was in local bands, but became a love/hate thing after being signed, as it also became a key way to promote and monetize the label. I started in my dorm and my friends’ houses and sang to Zero or very few people. It will always be more convenient for me. I enjoy the more intimate live performances in light moderation. Not constantly touring with back to back shows. I always made life sacrifices to see the results of touring regularly. I stopped doing it. It takes a lot of mental energy and time away from what I enjoy most, creating HOME lol. I enjoy the very act of creating in ANY medium a million times more! The way I continue to approach my music and all creative output on all my platforms lacks a focus on results, popularity, statistics, genre or money. I have been creating different types of art since I was 5 years old and for a long time it was for zero people for zero pay. I am an artist and I would rather die than NOT create art, be creative or use my brain to help those I love. I’m always happy to share my journey and my story, but I don’t want fame. I don’t want to be a “public figure”, an idol or even THOUGHT of most days. I just want to enjoy all of life’s experiences, maintain the balance between my home and interior, while sharing what I enjoy and finding other passionate people who resonate with it. Lots of love. Thank you for reading. I have some really cool stuff coming up that I’m really excited about.”

Even though we believed you the first and second time you said you were going, we definitely took the hint now. You already seem happier and that’s what really matters.
