Adrian Rowse is a pastor's kid who was lead singer of schools ministry band "Corazon" performing to nearly 250,000 people in schools, prisons, universities, churches throughout Australia. ‘Age’ has now married and settled in Melbourne (Australia) as a youth and music pastor.

Phil Gaudion, drummer from the Grammy Nominated Paul Colman Trio has produced his debut solo album Up Close. The songs were written as an expression of Adrian's struggle as a teenager and young adult with his own sexuality. Adrian says, ‘Young people suffer in silence and our churches are crippled because of the lack of honest, real discussion on these issues’. The songs are well crafted, masterfully arranged and take you on Adrian’s passionate journey into God's pure heart and away from the sin that he has grown to hate so much.

Age has really hit the mark when he talks about the aim of Up Close: 'it'll be the kind of record you listen to when you take out an hour from the hectic pace of life, sitting in a beanbag with a hot chocolate or coffee for some intimate moments with the Creator of the universe”.
