Aadam
I build audio software and write, record, and produce my own music.
About me
Hi! 👋🏽 I’m a Philadelphia-born and based musician and producer. I was gifted my first guitar by my grandfather—a jazz musician on the local scene. Since then, music has been my passion and craft. I went on to learn every instrument I could get my hands on, and eventually studied music technology, recording techniques, and synthesizers in college.
Aqeel Aadam Sound
I create and release plug-ins as Aqeel Aadam Sound. As I grow and develop on my own artistic journey, I believe in disseminating what I’ve learned to other composers and musicians as well, and helping to foster the health of the art world as a whole.
Released music
After building a grassroots online following from my first apartment, I self-released an EP, Daydreams. Shortly thereafter, I released two albums — Hollow Moon and Swim, Simian — on vinyl and cassette with record label Mystery Circles. I’ve collaborated with a number of fellow electronic musicians and contributed to compilations by Inner Ocean Records and Mystery Circles, as well as performing within our beloved little community.

Composition & licensing
I am currently taking work composing for film, video games, music libraries, commercials, and more. I’ve contributed works to Marmoset, Asche & Spencer, and worked on games with King Crow Studios. Please reach out if you would like to learn more about my work or working together!
