Kylie Adams-Collier
Award Winning Songwriter
Biography
Described as a “painter of songs,” Kylie's heartfelt lyrics and music are inspired by Australia’s colourful landscape, stories, people and history.
She is a genuine storyteller with much of her songwriting recognized with awards and nominations by the Australian country music industry.
​
Kylie has recorded six albums throughout her career including two Snow Leopards albums on Waterfront Records and four solo albums: "Bellingen Says Goodnight" produced by Brendan Gallagher, "Sweet Dreams 'til Morning" produced by Gary Brown, "Little Stone" produced by Lindsay Waddington on Kross Kut Records and her most recent album "Light as a Feather" produced by Michael Carpenter.
​Growing up in the small rural town of Bellingen, Kylie's music and family history has led her to meet the President of Ireland, Dr Michael Higgins, the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, Sir Michael Somare and the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese.
​
​Kylie has performed at many regional festivals and has graced the stage of the Tamworth Town Hall and Tamworth Capitol Theatre during the Tamworth Country Music Festival. She's broadcasted nationally as a weekly radio presenter and producer with Good Morning Country including the Golden Guitars live across Australia with Kevin Walsh.​
​​​
She's had eight top 10 hits including two singles that made it to number 2 nationally including 'Montevideo Maru 1942' & 'Waiting for Heaven to Rain.'
Her recording of Hank Williams 'I Can't Help it if I'm Still in Love With You' reached number 5 on the International Mainstream Charts.​ Kylie's endearing song about being brave" Fearless Like a Magpie" reached number 5 on the International Mainstream Charts.​ Kylie's original music is regularly featured on Australian radio playlists as well as international playlists including England, New Zealand, America, France, Poland, Germany, Netherlands and many more.
​
​​
​Kylie was born in Sydney in 1968 and grew up in Fernmount, near Bellingen in northern NSW.
Her musical beginnings were influenced by her mother Gilly Adams's love of music.
​​Gill Adams was one of the first radio test broadcasters of 2BBBfm Bellingen and hosted Gills Jazz for over twenty-five years. Kylie's mother enjoyed lots of styles of music and often hosted musical parties with the alternate new arrivals of Bellingen.
​
Kylie and her little sister attended colourful parties in local valley halls with their mother, experiencing the fun of live music on a very organic level. Kylie began experimenting with creating melodies on her mother's piano at the age of five.
​Leaving home in the late eighties to study art, Kylie discovered the raging bars of inner western Sydney and it wasn't long before she took to the stage with the promise of free beer at the Lansdowne Hotel.
​It was then that she began to write songs and her sister Jenny Adams gave her an acoustic guitar with 2 cent pieces for tuning pegs. Jenny and Kylie worked as the Adams Sisters for a short time in the early nineties.
​
​For the next thirty years Kylie dabbled in various musical styles working in many different line ups around Sydney and her hometown of Bellingen plus many solo tours on regional country music festivals.
​
​She has worked with many producers over the years and continues to write and record music.
A member of the Australian Performing Rights Association, Australian Songwriters Association, Tamworth Songwriters Association and the Country Music Association of Australia, Kylie's original music has won many awards and receives alot of radio airplay around the world.
​
Now in her mid fifties, Kylie has many more songs to write and hopes that one day some songs will be published and live on far beyond her lifetime.​ In a world of streaming and a flooded market, you never know what 's around the corner.
