Astonish Entertainment was started in 2006 with a passion to help produce and release music from virtually unknown independent artists.
It was Adam DeGraide’s vision to try and make this happen. Although the artists have had various degrees of success it was nonetheless a great adventure that Adam was grateful to have taken. One of the highlights from Astonish Entertainment was the music video “Sweep the leg” by No More Kings featuring the entire cast from the original Karate Kid movie. And yes this was LONG BEFORE the new hit series Cobra Kai came out. You can watch the music video and review the projects below. Also, Astonish Entertainment has released its first project in many years. It’s Adam DeGraide’s first solo project entitled…’The Calm”.

A.D.A.M. Music Project – Apex Risen
A.D.A.M. stands for (Artists Developing Astonishing Music). Founded by Adam DeGraide with the idea that collaboration is the one of the best ways to make music, A.D.A.M. was born. The project features many fantastic artists from various bands. The songs are inspired by video game characters from games both new and old. On the first 3 releases including the full length LP we focus exclusively on characters from the blockbuster Apex Legends. Using the characters from Adam’s favorite video game for inspiration would allow a ton of creativity that could inspire everything from the sound, melody and overall feel of the album. Wanting to make a pure ROCK album was the goal and the characters became the perfect subject matter in his opinion. As Adam DeGraide says “this is the ultimate fan art project”. This album features over 25 different contributors from all walks of life. The ages of the artists range from 19 to 51. Variety is the spice of life and the A.D.A.M. MUSIC PROJECT delivers on that promise.

A.D.A.M. Music Project – Apex Rising Part 2
This is the second EP released by the A.D.A.M. MUSIC PROJECT. This EP features 7 songs about characters from the video game Apex Legends. When Adam DeGraide, the founder of the project, was thinking about doing this he really wanted to make music about the things he loves and gaming is definitely one of them. As an avid gamer it was his goal to create the “Ultimate Fan Art”. Everyone who worked on this project takes the music seriously and tried to make the best Rock music possible. This project features some amazing and talented artists. This new EP is scheduled for release on 2-17-2023 everywhere music is streamed. Features songs about Revenant, Maggie, Fuse, Seer, Wattson, Horizon & Crypto.
