He is a graduate of Parkland High School in South Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania. He attended George Washington University for one year before deciding to drop out in order to pursue a music career; his first EP was recorded in his GWU dorm and distributed by CD Baby.

He sold CDs and T-shirts out of the trunk of his Geo Prizm. Richman has opened for artists ranging from The Roots to Simple Plan and now-labelmate Matisyahu.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichman spent nine months working with a professional production team on an album project before scrapping it, realizing that he was sacrificing creative control in exchange for things he had already learned. He built a studio in his parents' basement, where he would record his next two records.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2005, having been signed by the indie label Or Music, he appeared at SXSW, and toured nationally to support his first full-length album, Patience and Science, opening for artists such as Puffy AmiYumi and Better than Ezra, and joined in the \"Around the Clock Tour\" with The Rocket Summer, This Day and Age, Socratic, and Sherwood. He was on the 2006 Rock Boat \"floating festival\".\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis best-known songs are \"Mary-Anne\" and \"Broken Glass\". His single \"The Loneliness Song\" has a music video produced by the Nova Project.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichman also works as a producer, including records such as Speechwriters LLC's The Bull Moose After Party. He now lives in New York City, and in 2006 began playing gigs with a power-pop band called The Consequence.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Adam+Richman","playStationPath":"/stations/268581527/play","stationId":268581527,"bioPath":"/music/Adam+Richman/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Ben+Jelen","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/677/677c4b190e10d54653961209b4e25ee1_md.jpg","artistName":"Ben Jelen","artistId":2105,"station_id":113699821},{"musicPath":"/music/Permanent+Me","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/116/1169ce9a69b60bd699607945b75e189c_md.jpg","artistName":"Permanent Me","artistId":111069,"station_id":282359784},{"musicPath":"/music/Sing+It+Loud","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ae7/ae78531053755559a120cd43fbec115e_md.jpg","artistName":"Sing It Loud","artistId":12982,"station_id":113294336},{"musicPath":"/music/Thin+Dark+Line","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8e6/8e61667ed5bbedc3cf79e56a877532bc_md.jpg","artistName":"Thin Dark Line","artistId":116210,"station_id":283090494},{"musicPath":"/music/Diffuser","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/912/91225e7b985ee20b70399882f67f2301_md.jpg","artistName":"Diffuser","artistId":5127,"station_id":113450838},{"musicPath":"/music/Michael+Tolcher","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/50f/50fb1d4b32068416c03718b44ee721fa_md.jpg","artistName":"Michael Tolcher","artistId":100823,"station_id":280763310},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Deathray+Davies","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/29d/29dbaa11347bd56b258e77cbe2b6f7dd_md.jpg","artistName":"The Deathray Davies","artistId":108958,"station_id":282140360},{"musicPath":"/music/Downtown+Singapore","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a32/a32534b220fa2991cbd84145e6309e34_md.jpg","artistName":"Downtown Singapore","artistId":114163,"station_id":282638964},{"musicPath":"/music/Sound+the+Alarm","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/989/9893f00b554869e851ed59c67c3c5773_md.jpg","artistName":"Sound the Alarm","artistId":121755,"station_id":283708824},{"musicPath":"/music/Upper+Class+Trash","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5a1/5a15b4a63d969d04884e080a771ae8e3_md.jpg","artistName":"Upper Class Trash","artistId":116478,"station_id":283090726},{"musicPath":"/music/Brighten","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/712/71238514161617486f7e1faafb285448_md.jpg","artistName":"Brighten","artistId":53273,"station_id":249529035},{"musicPath":"/music/Rediscover","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/765/7652556bad112ac7211a782f2df0170a_md.jpg","artistName":"Rediscover","artistId":11756,"station_id":113269428},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Years+Gone+By","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e7e/e7e5add7c6b0312f16f35d79aa39d462_md.jpg","artistName":"The Years Gone By","artistId":12941,"station_id":114758646},{"musicPath":"/music/John+Ralston","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b33/b332c6c7915a72c8363b238bfb391abe_md.jpg","artistName":"John Ralston","artistId":101676,"station_id":280763826},{"musicPath":"/music/Small+Towns+Burn+a+Little+Slower","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/163/1631f9c0f1f78728ea966e5187429a19_md.jpg","artistName":"Small Towns Burn a Little Slower","artistId":119918,"station_id":283329416},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Summer+Obsession","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/14c/14ce3c59af9b6f39b1eaeaef7b43debb_md.jpg","artistName":"The Summer Obsession","artistId":55350,"station_id":259461194},{"musicPath":"/music/Runner+Runner","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bb0/bb0a68246f33577f6fd751740d08ad43_md.jpg","artistName":"Runner Runner","artistId":61458,"station_id":262238926},{"musicPath":"/music/Tinted+Windows","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a4c/a4ced63055e845b8354732f3ceaed096_md.jpg","artistName":"Tinted Windows","artistId":15719,"station_id":135168866}]}
