Adam Nuckels was born in a suburb right outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is of Italian, as well as some Irish, German, and Scottish ancestry. From Kindergarten to the third grade, Adam spent his early childhood moving around. Most of his childhood was spent in the Braddock/ North Braddock area.  At 8 years old, he settled in a quiet suburb outside of Pittsburgh.  At 15, Nuckels made one more move back to where he started his early education, graduating from Woodland Hills High School in 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 military.  During his time in the military, Nuckels was deployed to the middle East twice during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.  He served a total of 12 years of service.

Adam Nuckels launched  Deadonfeet Records in 2021 and zeroed in on his music career, his life. He learned more and taught himself the ins and outs of music and the industry. Now, Nuckels writes, composes, produces, and performs all his own music.
