 All Day I Dream About Music  Born John Littlejohn, ADIDAM (which stands for All Day I Dream About Music), has deep roots in classical performance. As concertmaster of the Newark Symphony and member of the Baltimore Opera Orchestra and also Darin Atwater’s Soulful Symphony (see interview with Darin Atwater), it comes as no surprise that ADIDAM's new project is steeped in musical depth.The violinist stylistically blends his love for hip-hop to produce a fifteen-track effort that is sparking a great deal of interest, and jusfiably so. ADIDAM handles the bulk of the vocals on this project, which range from rhyming to heartfelt singing. But the strength of the album lies in its musical compositions. His classical mastery shines on tracks like "The Waters of March", "This is For My People" and an 87-second interlude that will make you want to visit your nearest concert hall.  Musical dexterity is the order of the day on cuts such as "Falling" and "Hey Girl", where he relies on balladry while sharing vocal responsibilities with the capable Delandria. "Surrender" is a true gem as ADIDAM offers a simple, elegant and classical interpretation of the hymn 'I Surrender All'.ADIDAM's ability to creatively swing from one musical genre to another shows that he does more than simply dream about music. Handling production, performance and also writing nearly every track on this project, he shows that music is a way of life.
