About Bryan Adams

Bryan Guy Adams CC OBC was born in Kingston, Ontario in November 1959, the son of a Canadian Army officer who later joined the Canadian foreign service, and grew up across postings in Portugal, Austria, Israel, and the United Kingdom before the family settled in North Vancouver, British Columbia in the early 1970s. He dropped out of high school at fifteen, cashed in the college savings his parents had put aside, bought a grand piano, and started gigging Vancouver clubs almost immediately. His first real band was Sweeney Todd — he replaced original singer Nick Gilder in 1976 and recorded the album If Wishes Were Horses with them at sixteen — before pivoting back to songwriting with future collaborator Jim Vallance, the partnership that would write almost every Bryan Adams hit of the 1980s. A&M Records Canada signed him in 1979 and released his self-titled debut in 1980; You Want It You Got It followed in 1981, Cuts Like a Knife in 1983 (his first international breakthrough on the back of the title track and Straight from the Heart), and then Reckless in November 1984 — the record that ended any argument about whether he was a real rock star. Reckless sold five-times diamond in Canada, twelve million worldwide, generated six US top-fifteen singles, and put him on the global arena circuit. Into the Fire arrived in 1987, Waking Up the Neighbours in 1991, and the run of early-1990s theme-song singles — (Everything I Do) I Do It for You for Robin Hood, All for Love with Sting and Rod Stewart for The Three Musketeers, Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman for Don Juan DeMarco, and Please Forgive Me as a stand-alone single — made him one of the most ubiquitous voices on adult-contemporary radio in the world. 18 til I Die followed in 1996, On a Day Like Today in 1998, the Anthology hits collection in 2005, 11 in 2008, Tracks of My Years in 2014, Get Up in 2015 (produced by Jeff Lynne of ELO), Shine a Light in 2019, So Happy It Hurts in 2022, and Roll With the Punches in 2024. Alongside the music he built a second career as a professional photographer — portrait work for Vanity Fair, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and the Pirelli Calendar, plus published collections Exposed and Wounded — and has been a vocal vegan and animal-rights advocate through his foundation for decades. He holds the Order of Canada (Companion), the Order of British Columbia, multiple honorary doctorates, an Officer of the Order of Canada upgrade, and induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and Canada's Walk of Fame.
