Adam Thompson – SONiC Music Director

Adam's on the air when our other announcers are on holiday or sick

Hello, my name’s Adam, and I’m the Music Director for SONiC.

Now, generally people have a tendency to over-inflate the importance of their job.  I’m not going to do that.  I don’t decide which songs we should play, nor do I think it’s a job for just one person.  Here at SONiC, there are several people that collectively listen to new music every week, and each one of us offers our own input.  If everyone likes a song, it gets thrown in the mix.  Basically, I just do lots of research to decide which bands we’ll be listening to.  That’s why it’s always nice when you guys tell me what you’re digging!  It always helps, and I always appreciate it.

Skrillex on SONiC?

Posted by Adam Thompson, in category Music News, February 17, 2012 4:17 pm

Skrillex. He’s everywhere these days. To millions of fans, he’s the end-all-be-all, and he represents where music is heading. He took home a few things from the Grammy’s this past weekend. But – does this track belong on SONiC?
