BIOGRAPHY
Adrian Star is a 1980's anachronism in music. His synth-pop sound is influenced heavily by genres of the '80s such as New Wave, Top 40 Pop, and R&B Dance. He uses vintage synthesizers and older analog recording equipment to achieve his signature sound. He does not use "soft synths" (software/virtual based instruments). He plays his basslines & melodies humanly on actual keyboards and uses real saxophones & guitars. No auto-tune vocal technology is used on his songs. Adrian does not compete in the loudness wars when mastering his music. He keeps the dynamics of the song in place '80s style rather than a constant "everything the same" philosophy. He sticks to his '80s guns for his music videos as well.
Lately, Adrian has been on the bill with legendary pop/new wave acts such as Berlin and Missing Persons.
Adrian Star has had 6 songs featured in films & commercials, appeared on many radio podcast shows, as well as more than a dozen directed music videos. Most recently, he has provided songs for the official soundtracks of the feature films:

Adrian has released 3 albums to date, EMULATOR (2014), EMULATOR II (2016), & EMULATOR II+ (2018).
