DxRI Design Week Keynote: Cey Adams – Def Jam Recordings Founding Creative Director

Join visual artist Cey Adams as he discusses his artistic career spanning over four decades, from teen graffiti artist in New York City to founding creative director at Def Jam Recordings. He co-founded The Drawing Board, the label’s in-house design firm, that “defined the visual culture of Hip-Hop” and created some of the most iconic album covers and logos including Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, and Mary J. Blige. Today Adams creates fine art, drawing inspiration from 1960s pop art, vintage sign painting, and comics. His work focuses on themes including pop culture, brand identity, and cultural and community issues.
