Adrian Andres

Adrian Andres is a versatile guitarist, songwriter, producer, vocalist, and music educator. His musical journey began at age six with classical piano studies at the Royal Conservatory of Music. After years of self-teaching guitar and performing local gigs, he was accepted into the Guitar Program at the renowned Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. Learning from distinguished faculty like Paul Gilbert, Frank Gambale, Scott Henderson, and Joe Diorio, Adrian was inspired to make the move to Hollywood.

Graduating with honors, he immersed himself in the LA music scene, performing at the legendary Sunset Strip and working as a session musician for the city’s vibrant studio community. His passion for production and audio engineering grew through mentorship and working at Cherokee Recording Studios as Operations Manager, gaining insights from industry legends like Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin, Van Halen) Toby Wright (Korn, Alice In Chains) and Roy Thomas Baker (The Cars, Queen).

Over the decades, Adrian has worn many hats—as a writer for Chrysalis Music and Factory Music, contributing to TV and film soundtracks- as a session musician and composer, touring the U.S. with his project A.W.S., and touring worldwide as guitarist/keyboardist for Cirque du Soleil.
