Robinson

ABOUT

I am a solo artist and landed a record deal 3 years ago with a californian based label called "Palawan Productions". Ive released 2 albums; my debut "Englands Bleeding" was critically acclaimed and my recent new one "Beneath the ballroom" is being serviced to the press at present. Ive had many plays of my music on radio 2, 6music, absolute and numerous local bbc's across the board including american/french and german stations, with few plays in australia also. I played live on radio for Jo Whiley, Janice Long and Robert Elms sessions. Currently my latest single http://soundcloud/robinson-music/without-love-single-rcmix (wghich u can listen to here) is being serviced at radio as we speak.
Ive played with many diffent musicians over the years and this year just got back from america touring around Hollywood and santa monica California with the band I had at that time...
Im Looking to create a diary of musicians to call upon whether it be for live shows/tv or radio or a tour - uk or world wide.
Obviously the ideal would be to have a permanent backing group eventually but at this point in time I understand that people have their own commitments and lifestyles so cannot commit fully.
