After instantly hitting it off Adamz and Jones began writing together and have been performing “Chasing Moments” live throughout the UK since its release.

“I’ve absolutely loved being involved in this collab. Afro pop is a genre that I’ve always enjoyed listening to and to get the chance to work Great Adamz has been amazing. “Chasing Moments” is a pure summer jam that I personally can’t get out of my head. Try listening to this one without wanting to dance, it’s impossible.” – Maddox Jones

Adamz views music is his safe space, and with “Chasing Moments” he’s hoping to share the sounds of Afrobeats and his influences to new listeners.

“I have always thought of Afro pop as a medium to express your sound how best you hear it. Working with Maddox Jones has proven that, because I can totally hear his originality in the song, even though it’s a genre he hasn’t done before. “Chasing Moments” was made for the summer, all I think of is cocktails and palm trees when I hear this song.” – Great Adamz
