Now a firefighter here is taking his love of singing to concerts and a third album. Master Sgt Steven Adams, a fire protection superintendent with the 347th Civil Engineer Squadron here, began singing when he was a child. "My first memory (of singing) goes back to singing with my father and siblings at a church gathering." he said. Adams now sings gospel a cappella without any instruments. His talent landed him a stint with Tops In Blue during the 1987-8- 8 tour. "I spend a great deal of my spare time singing," Adams said. "For tunately, there are a lot of requests for me to come here or there to perform." Mainly performing in the Georgia, Florida and Alabama area, Adams occasionally travels to Memphis, Tenn.; Houston; Dallas; Miami; Richmond, Vx, and most recently to Chicago. "His music is unique," said Senior Airman Marlin Anderson, of the 347th Medical Group. "It reaches (people) both young and old." "We got requests for his music all the time," said Anderson, a former disc jockey for a local radio station. "His music is touching. It's magnificent ho w he can sit down and dd everything behind the boards." . Adams writes all his lyrics, sings the vocals and produces his ' albums for charitable purposes. "The first album, 'He's Always There,' started out exactly as a charitable cause, he said. "In 1998, upon finding out my only son had neuroblastoma cancer, I was shocked and devastated." WIGgPOMTjSiLLS Because there was so little known about the origin and cause of his son's rare form of cancer, Adams said he decided to start the Steven Cornell Adams Jr. Foundation. He recorded and sold the album for the proceeds to raise awareness for the foundation, Adams said. "We raised more than $10,000 for cancer research and treatment in his honor," he said. While in the hospital learning about the disease and helping practitioners care for his son. Adams said, he witnessed other families in worse situations than his. "My heart went out to them. Being an artist at heart, singing and music has been a form of therapy for me when dealing with life's adversities, Adams said. Steven died Oct 15, 2000, after surviving five years since the first diagnosis. He was 10."My faith in God sustained me throughout the ordeal and gave me strength to endure," he said. Adams also receives a lot of encouragement The encouragement is very important to me," he said. "It also let's me know I was meant to do what I do. event, people were asking "Ironically, prior to this me to record for years, but I wasn't really motivated," Adams said. "I guess I had finally found a meaningful purpose." His second album, "Safe Within His Arms," had a more spiritual message. Through my music, I encourage listeners to develop a connection with the Almighty. I know what he has done for me, and I express it in my own artistic way," he said. His third album is titled, "Soul Food" and is scheduled for release this month. "(The album) is more of the same with a more focused theme on nourishing people's minds," Adams said. "I address such issues the rising suicide and heinous crime rate as our society's ills and the among youth plight of the incarcerated." 4 py , i i M ( o Courtey photo Master Sgt Steven Adams, a fire protection superintendent with Moody's 347th Civil Engineer Squadron, Is scheduled to release his third album of acappella gospel music this month.
