Growing up, Adrian Gonzalez was fascinated with vintage electronics and music, from radios, tubes, and mechanical designs to ragtime piano, jazz, Sinatra, and Led Zeppelin.
“I always loved folk and dived deep into Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan, and growing up in Rosemead, Calif listening to classics like these made me want to record music like that again,” explained Gonzalez, now 25 years old. “That desire drove me to getting an education in the field that would give me a head start into my passion, and that’s how I found out about the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences (CRAS).”
