Robert spent his early years in Germany, Kenya and Tanzania before moving to New York as a teenager. His musical background is shaped by many influences including 70's soul, R&B, New Wave, Dancehall Reggae and Classical. He began recording bits and pieces on a 4 track recorder using primarily drum machines, synths and electric bass and gradually began to add his voice to these recordings. Working as a bass player and background vocalist with various bands and projects, Robert began to develop his own style which can only be described as a mixture of everything he was exposed to, and as a way of trying to define the realities of living many lives in different worlds, the distance this can cause between people but also the sense of being connected to everything but as times lost to yourself. This is - of course - also the reason why his songwriting as well as the colour of his voice get a special tastet. If you carefully listen to his songs you will know: "This artist is unique". His first full album is called "Angel Road" (mole082-2) and was co-produced by Jesper Dahlback adn Sebastian Ahrenberg as well as recorded at Globe Studios in Stockholm.
