Bad Horse is made up of a group of talented, well-seasoned musicians. Singer, Adam Grant, and guitarist, Robert E, make up the cofounders of the band. The pair come from a mismatched background with their previous careers, Adam as the ex-cop and Robert as the ex-football player, but they were united through their love of music. They were later joined by lead guitarist, Chris Iorio, Sam Fisher on drums, Marcus Dennard with the bass, and Jessie Dickenson on keys.

A producer’s role does not include getting you signed (though someone with contacts may be able to help open doors for you, don’t ever assume that this is part of the situation).

His songs have been featured on HBO, Kyle XY, Wildfire, Thanksgiving Day Football, and most importantly the boot song on American Idol with “Best Days.”
