プロフィール

Before being fully capable of reaching a foot pedal, at the age of three, Adrian’s passion for the drums was evident. While playing during church services, his natural sense of timing and rhythm was evident from a young age. Adrian’s growing enthusiasm encouraged him to fine-tune his talent, through constant practice, and begin the pursuit toward becoming a renowned Canadian drummer. Despite criticism received regarding the Canadian music industry’s recognition of drummers, Adrian labored tirelessly toward his goal.

During his high school years, Adrian was the recipient of many music awards which included being named Musician of the Year for three consecutive years. This was followed by his school receiving the Band of the Year Award in an Ontario-wide musical competition. While still in high school, Adrian was given the opportunity to play with the Toronto-based choir Freedom 2 Worship. This led to him playing in his first live recording shortly after. This propelled Adrian’s recognition in the Canadia music industry.
