When we caught up with P!nk’s keyboard player/guitarist Adriana Balic at Soundcheck in Melbourne last year on the Beautiful Trauma tour, it just didn’t seem to be enough time to get to know her. Luckily Adriana agreed to a longer interview at NAMM Show 2019.

From 2003 she served as keyboardist and vocalist to the Grammy Award winning artist “P!NK” on tours in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
