Adrian is a guitar student of Tony Carducci in West Music Quad Cities. According to Tony: “Adrian is exceptionally humble, a great kid, a great guitar player, and he is busting his butt to do all sorts of stuff. He deserves to be recognized.”
Adrian has only been taking lessons with Tony for about six months, and in that time he feels he has progressed greatly. He goes to High School at Alleman, and is in two bands and a marching band.
His music goals are “just to be good” and his advice to other musicians is “hard work beats talent!” His favorite part about music is making people happy. He says he’s sorry he’s boring, but he really likes science! His favorite artists are David Gilmour and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
A shocking fact about him is that he speaks French!
Congratulations, Adrian! Great job!
