In 2022 his album Nothing Feels Like Everything was nominated as an album of the year at the Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards and he was featured in the Guardian as one of three of the UK’s most significant soul music producers alongside Swindle and Little Simz/Cleo Sol/Adele producer Inflo.

For over 10 years Scrimshire was a co-owner of the Wah Wah 45s record label and eight years ago founded his own Albert’s Favourites imprint which released its 16th album in 2023. He and the label have worked hard to champion artist’s rights and create the best possible working conditions and support for the musicians it represents. 

Adam is also a prolific composer, using his remaining time to create 100s of songs each year for libraries internationally, including NinjaTune, Felt, Premium Beat and BAM.
