Bio
Allan Cronin
I had the pleasure of working with Adam and the Other Minds crew for a little over a year and was able to see Adam's range of knowledge of music, performance, composition and production as well as his diplomatic and humane administrative skills. In short he is highly knowledgeable and skillful in both music and in working with a very diverse community of artists, fans and supporters.
