Adrian Robert McGrady, originally from upstate NY, began his musical journey at Friendship Baptist Church singing in both children's and adult choirs. Inspired after seeing Hubert Laws and James Galway perform, he chose to learn the flute. Adrian studied under Barry Crawford at SUNY Buffalo and with Dr. Christine Moulton Fish at Mansfield University, where he was introduced to various flutes; and where he purchased his first Pearl Flute.
He has performed in masterclasses and concerts across states, including at Carnegie Hall with the Mansfield University Concert Wind Ensemble and with the national LGBTQIA+ Flute Ensemble at the 2025 World Pride Festival. Currently, Adrian is touring all 50 states, performing new flute music on five different instruments: piccolo, C flute, alto flute, bass flute, and contrabass flute.
Adrian performs regularly with groups such as Melanin Rhapsody Flute Ensemble, LGBTQIA+ Flute Ensemble, Crystal City Flutes, White Sabers Drum and Bugle Corps, and Emanon Winterguard. He is working on a cinematic project, “Unseen, Unheard, Unknown…,” that will show you the perspective of life through the eyes of an artist; and on his debut low flutes album, “Consonance,” which will spotlight the unique sound of alto, bass, and contrabass flutes.
