Adrian’s star began shining at the age of four when he received his first saxophone during a concert in Roanoke, Virginia from acclaimed jazz artist Kenny G; who noticed Adrian’s interest from the audience, stopped the show, and invited him to the stage, playing a childish melody, and finally bestowing the sax to young Adrian.
