Adam Yokum

Adam Yokum is an American singer and songwriter hailing from the small mountain town of Whitmer, West Virginia, a place with just 82 residents. His deep Appalachian roots strongly influence his music, which blends rap, pop, and country styles. Often described as "an Appalachian-tinged Post Malone," Adam's unique sound reflects his experiences growing up in the mountains and his journey of self-recording and growing as an artist. He gained attention with his breakout project *EVERGREEN* released starting in early 2023, featuring singles like "20 Something," "evergreen," and "Right My Wrongs." His music offers an immersive and interactive experience that leaves audiences feeling connected and storytelling.

Adam credits much of his musical path to family and close friends—his brother taught him guitar, and his father played in a bluegrass band, all shaping his appreciation and style. He is passionate about creating music that tells stories and connects people, and he has toured as a headliner, steadily building his presence. Fans can expect a blend of heartfelt lyrics and genre-crossing sounds that carry the spirit of his Appalachian upbringing alongside contemporary influences.
