Adams studied music at Las Vegas Academy where he met Stefanova, who moved to Las Vegas from Bulgaria to study music and photography. The two have been in a relationship since 2005, and lived together while Stefanova pursued her degree in Flagstaff, AZ. After graduating in 2009, Stefanova and Adams moved back to Boulder City where they formed Same Sex Mary as a duo, with Adams on guitar and vocals, and Stefanova on Farfisa and vocals.
