In 2010, Adrian released his first album,”Music From The Mind’s Eye” ,on Amel Larrieux’s label, Blisslife records. Is it melodic rock or art pop? It is certainly totally modern, yet reminiscent of the golden age of rock. The songs are tight and well- crafted, and they reach for diversity, self-expression, and soulfulness.

Adrian is now preparing to release his second album, “On The Edge Of Change“-  This time around, the music encompasses the full range of Adrian’s travels as a journeyman musician, record producer and drummer. These songs go beyond rock and traditional song forms into R & B, soul, jazz, electro and soundscape, but with  one foot in modern/classic rock sound.
