[2] Adam Blackstone began playing drums at the age of 4 at El Bethel Baptist church on Euclid Avenue in Trenton, New Jersey.
After becoming widely known in the area for his round, distinct tone, Adam caught the attention of drummer and producer Questlove of the well known hip hop and soul group, The Roots.
This show, along with Dave Chappelle's Block Party, were both filmed and made into popular documentaries that sold extremely well, and helped put Blackstone on the map.
[6] Alongside working with several A-list artists, Adam also runs his own production company with his wife Kaisha, entitled BBE (BASSic Black Entertainment[7]), which features several up and coming pop and R&B acts.
