Early Life
Daniel Adair was born on February 19, 1975, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Martone
Adair’s musical journey began with Martone, a band formed by fusion guitarist Dave Martone in the mid-1990s. Their debut album, “Zone,” was released in 1999, followed by additional albums like “When Aliens Come” and “Clean.”
3 Doors Down
In 2002, Adair joined the American rock band 3 Doors Down as their drummer for their tour promoting the album “Away from the Sun,” which led to the release of the live album “Another 700 Miles” in 2004. He later became the studio drummer for the band, contributing to their 2005 album “Seventeen Days.” This album marked a significant milestone as it debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, and its lead single, “Let Me Go,” achieved number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Nickelback
In 2005, Adair made the transition from 3 Doors Down to the Canadian rock band Nickelback. His first album with them was “All the Right Reasons,” which enjoyed immense success, reaching number one on the charts in both Canada and the U.S. This album produced several hit singles, including “Photograph,” “Animals,” “Far Away,” and “Rockstar.” “All the Right Reasons” is not only Nickelback’s best-selling album but also ranks among the top-selling albums ever in the United States. The band followed up with the album “Dark Horse” in 2008, which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and remained on the chart for an impressive 125 weeks, featuring singles like “Gotta Be Somebody,” “Something in Your Mouth,” and “If Today Was Your Last Day.”
Nickelback’s seventh studio album, “Here and Now,” was launched in late 2011, peaking at number two on the Billboard 200, with singles such as “When We Stand Together” and “Bottoms Up.” The band continued to release new music with “No Fixed Address” in 2014, which featured singles like “Edge of a Revolution” and “What Are You Waiting For?” Their album “Feed the Machine” was released in 2017, and after a significant hiatus, Nickelback returned with their tenth studio album, “Get Rollin’,” in late 2022, which included the lead single, “San Quentin.” This album, notably, was the first in nearly 20 years to not reach the top five on the Billboard 200.
