Rob's music takes an intimate and personal writing approach of the acoustic solo artist, and via fantastic guitar playing and sonic sculpting, he takes it somewhere huge and rhythmic like Faithless at midnight at a festival ! ” - Jon Gomm

A little about me..

I have always taken inspiration from music that creates stories and images for the listener. My professional musical journey started In the 1990s as guitarist and co-writer for indie band  Assembly Communications with Nick Talbot (who went on to form Gravenhurst).  At the same time I was a drum and bass DJ and producer in the Bristol underground scene, performing regularly at venues like the iconic Lakota nightclub. I went on to combine both my passions for melodic, narrative song-writing with beats and rhythms of Drum and bass as  producer and guitarist for Barriokingdom, a live DnB band. After 10 years of being an integral part of the Bristol music scene , I felt the need to go solo and rediscover my own sound.  A 40th birthday present found me at Thomas Leeb's acoustic fingerstyle Bootcamp  in Austria and the pieces started to come together. Since then, I have immersed myself into the international fingerstyle scene and have refined my unique urban fingerstyle sound, drawing on the influences of my journey so far. 

I have played on both sides of the Atlantic and across Europe. I will be touring in late 2024 with my new album Passengers. (Out early 2024)
