I have been gigging around Wellington (the Capitol of New Zealand) as a Keyboard Player for just over 15 years. My work has also included playing solo piano in cocktail bars in Wellington's hotels and leading restaurants and I have also played with a few funk/jazz groups, cover rockers, theatre orchestras as well as several swing/dance bands, the most popular being the Benj Berryman Hiptet back in the 1990's.
During 2007 I worked in a Joe Cocker tribute band called simply "Hitchcock Railway" which was a lot of fun. I have always loved music and picked up a guitar very young, which was my passion until I turned 18.
Heading off to Victoria University to continue my Education, I enrolled in the Classical Music programme as they did not have Courses on Rock'n'Roll or Jazz. This introduced me to the piano and of course, the techniques and styles of music's structures and forms. It has proved an invaluable training for me. I completed a Degree on Music Composition.
In 2003 I made an album of my own material which I started composing back in the 1990's. A strictly private project, I sold all the pressings at my gigs and approached a number of local record shops about stocking it too. It was here (at Wonderland Records) that I met Dene Kellaway who was very excited about the album and it turned out he owned a record label called Tree.
He signed me up in 2007. A major make-over of the cover came next and suddenly my album had been titled "Stronger" and launched at CD Baby in America and supplied to 27 global mp3 downloading sites like iTunes, Tradebits, Napster and many more.
After a slow start, things picked up in 2008 and the title song "Stronger" made it into Tree's Top 20 Digital Sales Charts. I find the new way music is sold and delivered, alien having grown up with first records, then compact discs but the pace continued to increase during the last part of 2008 and I have released the Single "Dust In The Wind" with Chris Adams and completed my second Album "Perfection" , which was released in late September, 2009, as a digital release on Tree.

the background with others but once the World realises just how talented he is, he will not be able to hide in the background. Tree's UK artists Chris Adams and Andy Hearn have teamed up with Bob for joint recording ventures with great succes already.
