ADMT talks tackling mental health in music: “We need to show people that they need to stay”
ADMT has spoken to NME about the importance of being so open about his mental health through his music and social media – and shared what it means to be opening Leeds Festival this month.It’s been another huge year for the rising Doncaster singer-songwriter, releasing a string of streetwise but soulful genre-clashing singles – including a viral cover of 50 Cent’s ‘Best Friend, which got the approval of the rapper himself, leading the artist to release a full version online.
This only added to ADMT’s hundreds of thousands of streams and followers.“I’m feeling quite blessed,” ADMT – real name Adam Taylor – told NME. “I’m just a guy from Donny.
For all this mad stuff to be happening is sick – I’m super grateful. This is my dream.”Reflecting on his hometown, he admitted that he’d “spent his whole youth trying to escape Donny,” but could now appreciate all the “great things” about the Yorkshire city, which is also hometown to Yungblud.“There are so many great people; it’s a soup of cultures and music and that’s helped me in the stuff that I write,” Taylor went on. “It’s a working class town.
I’ve lived so many different experiences because of this place. Sometimes, [being here] definitely hasn’t helped me, but it’s definitely helped me with regards to writing tunes and that.“What Yungblud has done is really special.
