Establishing himself as one of the top engineers in the mid-west, Adkins distinct ear for music recording has been a launching pad for many bands and recording artists. After graduating from Full Sail University (Orlando, Florida) in 1994, Ryan returned back to Indianapolis where he worked as a staff engineer at The Lodge Recording Studios.

During his three months as an intern, Adam found himself working on several local music projects and was soon offered a engineering position.

This talent naturally transitioned Adam to pursue a career in music production. Zeigler is now a recording engineer and his skills as a hip-hop producer grow with every project he’s involved in. As his career develops, it seems as though only the sky is the limit for someone with such drive and potential. Anyone who has ever tried to follow a dream can relate to the trials and tribulations that come with such an undertaking. Those with enough courage and drive to take that chance often find themselves having to make something from nothing. Adam Zeigler is one of those lucky few, who have set out to do something they have always dreamed to do and is well on his way to making what had seemed to be an impossibility, a reality.
