Brian Delgross

Hailing from Philadelphia—the city that birthed the “Philly Sound,” American Bandstand, and legends like Hall & Oates—Brian Delgross began his journey as a professional musician at the age of 12. Today, as Secretary of the GMIA, he combines a lifetime of performance with an elite background in organizational strategy and public relations.

A Historic Foundation

In 1985, Brian earned what he describes as “the opportunity of a lifetime” when he was recruited to the production team for Live Aid. Contributing to the largest and most historic benefit concert in history provided him with an unparalleled look into the mechanics of global-scale music events and industry philanthropy.

Academic & Strategic Excellence

Brian is one of the most formally decorated members of the board, possessing a deep understanding of the “business” behind the music. His credentials include:

• University of Pennsylvania: A Master of Science in Organizational Dynamics, with a focus on business management, strategic planning, and the art of negotiation.
• Temple University: A Bachelor of Arts in Communication.
• Charles Morris Price School: A Certificate in Advertising, Marketing, and Public Relations, where he graduated at the top of his class.

From the Boardroom to the Limelight

After years of supporting other artists as both a musician and a business manager, Brian made the pivotal decision to move “center stage.” Drawing on his first love—the music itself—he transitioned into performing his own original material.

His soulful, polished performances have since reached audiences across the Southeast’s most iconic music hubs, including Macon, Atlanta, and Nashville. As Secretary, Brian ensures that the GMIA operates with the professional rigour and strategic foresight necessary to serve Georgia’s evolving music scene.
