Robert picked up the guitar at the age of 15 and found himself on stage just three months later. Hungry for his newfound passion, he practiced meticulously nine hours a day, sometimes without sleep to squeeze out just one more lick. Heavily inspired by his Holy Trinity: Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Robin Trower, Robert was a devoted Strat-Slinger from the start. In later years, he then ventured to Sunset Beach, CA to start his music career out of high school, where he embraced the intoxicating culture of The Allman Brothers & The Grateful Dead, intertwined with Surfside living. He played countless shows in Orange County, along Pacific Coast Highway and continues to play the blues in Central Texas, mainly in Austin, Temple, San Marcos, Buda, and more.
