Hi, I’m Addz. I sing a wide range of songs and take inspiration from artists like Ed Sheeran, The Lumineers, and James Arthur. My musical journey started during the second wave of COVID-19 when I began singing out of boredom.

Right now, I’m just enjoying making music and seeing where it takes me. I haven’t released any singles or worked on any major collaborations yet, but I’m excited to keep exploring my sound and evolving as an artist.
