Adam Watts

BCA Founder, Artist, Mentor

Watts' work as a songwriter, producer, mixer, multi-instrumentalist for superstar acts has been featured on over 50 million Albums Sold Worldwide.

His work as a singer-songwriter/solo-artist has garnered critical acclaim across eight self-produced solo releases.

Watts is also a visual artist. His gritty, thought provoking assemblage art and photography has been featured in multiple juried gallery showings, as well as in his own INTERNAL Gallery & Oddities previously located in Downtown Fullerton, CA.

Watts' passion for the arts and artist development is a key driving force behind Broken City Artists and led to the writing of his book "The Human of Being Art: A Holistic Approach to Being an Artist and Creating Art" (available on the "SHOP" page above).
