Adam Doleac is an American country music singer/songwriter signed to Arista Nashville. He has written songs with Darius Rucker and Kane Brown.
Background
Doleac grew up in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. His father and grandfather ran an electrical business. A natural athlete, Doleac passed up the family business to pursue sports. [2] Before becoming a country music artist, Doleac excelled at many sports and played baseball for the University of Southern Mississippi, eventually appearing in the College World Series. [3]
Doleac grew up listening to artists like Amos Lee, Dave Matthews Band, and John Mayer. [4] His first country concert was Toby Keith. [5]
Career
Early in Doleac's career, the song "Whiskey's Fine", from his independent EP, caught the attention of SiriusXM's "The Highway Channel". [6] The song would eventually reach number three on the Sirius XM "The Highway's" Hot Country Countdown. Doleac also started having success as a co-writer with other artists including Darius Rucker with whom he wrote the song "Don't". Doleac was then named to numerous rising star lists, including " Pandora Radio's 2018 Artists to Watch" and Rolling Stone Country's "New Country Artist You Need to Know". [2]
In October 2019, Sony Music Nashville signed Doleac to the Arista Nashville imprint. [7] The single "Famous" spent two weeks at No. 1 on Sirius XM "The Highway's" Hot Country Countdown, and was supported with a music video featuring former Bachelor couple Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph. [8] Doleac also released new pop-driven EP called Famous: The Remixes, just as the original version of "Famous" crossed 2 million streams on Spotify. [9]
Doleac celebrated the support he has received from his parents with the track "Mom and Daddy’s Money" released in 2018. [10] In January 2019, Doleac supported country artist Ryan Hurd on tour with Niko Moon, followed by more touring with Mitchell Tenpenny and Scotty McCreery. [11]
