I'm back with my first guest of 2025 and its Adam Kronowski based in Los Angeles!
Known for his glorious chorus' and love for metal and punk, we have a great discussion about his love for music and his incredible versatility. Competent on Drums, Guitar and Vocals, Kronowski is absolutely Adams creation and he doesn't hold back in throwing himself into almost every aspect of the songs recording and creation. As well as the music we talk about the fires in LA that delayed our chat by a month, he gives his insights on that and also touches on one of his favourite Australian punk bands Frenzal Rhomb.
Check out all of Adams work and follow his journey! @kronowski
