Industry Professionals say:
"Adam's stuff comes across as honest, straight-from-the-heart songwriting... refreshing these days… The fact that he's at this point at such a young age is definitely an asset."
- Randy Cooke-Session Drummer: Kelly Clarkson, Five for Fighting, Chantal Kreviazuk, Hillary Duff.
"What we're looking for is the "wow" factor...a song or group of songs that can make us stop what we're doing and say "Wow, this is REALLY good." Adam Dugas's THE BEST WAY TO KILL 46 MINUTES does just that. From about a minute into the first track, his debut album commands your full attention with its great songwriting and killer hooks. What's more, young Dugas does it all himself on the album....all the singing, writing, and playing. Wow indeed."
- Mark Rheaume-CBC Radio
“On his MySpace page, Toronto singer-songwriter Dugas calls himself “the inventor of Precious-core”, admittedly, they're decent little compositions. But seriously, that whole sensitive-emo-boy-with-a-nasal-voice-and-his-heart-on-his-sleeve has pretty much been done to death by everyone from Dallas Green to Dashboard Confessional. Then again, Dugas also calls himself "a modern-day Phil Collins," so maybe we're just reading too much into things.
- Darryl Sterdan-The Toronto Sun
"Adam Dugas is a very talented singer/songwriter with a strong skill set within the music industry. It is bound to serve him well in his future as he will do many great things"
- Alfio Annibalini- Producer, Engineering Professor Metalworks, Seneca College
