A Canadian electronic producer and DJ from Toronto, Adam Kershen -- known professionally as
Adam K. -- established himself within the global dance music community in the late 2000s with progressive house singles like "Twilight" and "I Can Feel," which he made with creative partner
Soha. Over the next decade, he remained highly visible with a variety of collaborations, solo tracks, live DJ sets, and remixes for artists like
Deadmau5,
Shiny Toy Guns, and even
U2. In 2018,
K. notched another career highlight with "Pour Me," his hit single collaboration with
Vintage Culture.
Kershen initially started out as a drummer in various high school bands, though over time he became more enamored with electronic music as his studio knowledge and experience grew. Along with his longtime friend and collaborator
Soha, he began recording original progressive house tracks inspired by acts like
Daft Punk and
Tiësto. Billing himself simply as
Adam K., he and
Soha scored a hit with their 2007 track, "Twilight," which ran up to number two on Beatport's chart and earned accolades from BBC Radio 1 in England. Over the next few years, the duo produced a pair of EPs and began remixing tracks for
Kaskade ("4AM"),
Reflekt ("Need to Feel Loved"), and many others. Another collaboration between
K. and
Kaskade, 2010's "Raining," made it to the top of that chart and increased his visibility significantly. Further solo releases, like the 2014 EP This Is Our Future and the 2015 single "Come Alive," featuring Canadian singer
Matthew Steeper, brought continued success, as did another
Steeper collaboration, "Breathe," which also featured American singer
Haliene. 2016 saw a reunion with
Soha in "Twilight (Ten Years Of)," a new mix celebrating their 2006 hit. Two years later,
K. scored big with "Pour Over," a collaboration with Brazilian producer
Vintage Culture for
Spinnin' Records. The single's success spawned an EP of remixes by other artists, and a follow-up single later that year, "Save Me," featured
MKLA. ~ Timothy Monger
