From St.Barth To London

Robb's music is an invitation to travel. At age 12, his first musical shock is simply his discovering of the stereo sound through his first quality headphones. Later, He develops eclectic musical tastes around hip-hop music and movie scores. Emotion is what music is to him and he will seek for it by becoming a musician himself. In different bands, from hip-hop to punk rock, he experimented, he composed, he searched. Playing bass guitar in bands, he soon was asked to sing and in 2003, he started ... LHOSS, his electronic rock project. Influences of the band are diverse and palpable (Radiohead, Massive Attack ...) but Robb's musical identity is already there. The band encounters a local success with multiple gigs and local radio broadcasts. LHOSS is a conclusive experience where he gets to learn more about the music industry but Robb likes to renew himself and take risks. For improvement, he feels the need to return to his island roots, to explore his musical culture, it's diversity and moreover, it's exotic part. In two words: be himself, alone, without machines, without nets ... In 2006, he left the south of France and arrived in the caribbean island Saint-Barth, acoustic guitar on his back. When he arrives on the island, he plays to entertain friends. Word-of-mouth works wonders and gigs are unlocked: each times, the audience show satisfaction and ask for more gigs! His covers are fresh, his charisma and simplicity work. His playlist is appealing, covering alongside The Doors, Jeff Buckley, Ben Harper, but also some surprising guests such as Lady Gaga or Usher! Bold, he took the habit of being where we do not expect him... Season after season, his music, his style, attract and between December 2011 and April 2012, it is no fewer than a hundred gigs that he performs as an acoustic duo under the name 'Sunny Side Island'! In 2006 he wrote 'St. Barth Song', a song with reggae accents, in which he celebrates his love for this small island. Locals and tourists found their island anthem and encouraged him to record it. Self-produced in 2010, 500 copies are sold out within couple month. The community of St. Barth and the chamber of commerce and industry even sponsored the video clip, which also won a great success throughout the web. Robb draws serious attention: his song is regularly broadcasted in local radios. He found opportunities to play alongside Jimmy Buffett and Papaguyo, who made his name for collaborating with Prince and Sly And The Family Stones! The LP 'From Saint-Barth to London' is a true musical journey. Multifaceted and daring album, the exotic sunny tracks gradually evolve towards an electronic ambiance, captivating and energetic, always emotional, revealing the breadth and depth of Robb's talent.
