Adam Nuckels was born in a suburb right outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He has no parents active in his life. He is of Italian, as well as some Irish, German, and Scottish ancestry. From Kindergarten to the third grade, Adam spent his early childhood in three different school districts. Most of his childhood was spent in the Braddock/ North Braddock area. At 8 years old, he settled in a quiet suburb (Harrison City, PA.) Switching schools made it difficult to keep friends. At 15, Nuckels made one more move back to where he started his early education, graduating from Woodland Hills High School (Churchill, PA) in June of 2002.
Always turning to music as an outlet and rap/rock fan for most of his life, Adam began rapping and singing at the early age of 4. Rhyming words together, testing his vocal range, and constant music was an active outlet. At 18 years old, Adam joined the United State Air Force. At 19 years old, he had his daughter, Tatum(my life.) During his time in the military, Nuckels was deployed to the middle East twice during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Adam served a total of 12 years of service and completed his time in November of 2017. It was not until he battled through difficult circumstances where he finally had the confidence to pursue his dream. One of Nuckels’ best friends pasted at the age of 33. Dustin Ionadi passed from a rear form of brain cancer after serving four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He currently rests in Arlington National Cemetery. From that moment, Nuckels relied on alcohol heavily to numb the pain. From the time in service, Adam developed depression, PTSD, and attempted suicide multiple times. During these difficult times, he still managed to pull within a semester of completing two bachelor’s degrees in business management and HR Management. He also admitted himself and was extremely pro-active in his recovery mentally and physically during these difficult times of his life. While recovering from the past,
the modern pandemic hit.
During the time the pandemic gave everyone, Nuckels took it upon himself to launch Deadonfeet RECORDS and zero in on his music career, his life. He learned more and taught himself the ins and outs of music and the industry. Now, Adam Nuckels writes, composes, produces, and performs all his own music. With 6 songs out worldwide, keep an eye on this military mentality. Watch out Hangovergang and Slimshady. With his natural vocals and his aggressive genre blending sound, you should double down on this yinzer. #BLACKSHEEP
