Robert Post
What a journey Robert's been on since his debut "Robert Post" was released in 2005. Being from the small village called Langevåg on the west coast of Norway, and over the years been trying everything from packing eggs, selling tiles, laying bricks and even as a postman which, typically, resulted in him getting the sack. So he decided that he wasn't cut for the ordinary life, and his lifelong love of music seemed the best ticket to the bright lights of London.

What a journey Robert's been on since his debut "Robert Post" was released in 2005. Being from the small village called Langevåg on the west coast of Norway, and over the years been trying everything from packing eggs, selling tiles, laying bricks and even as a postman which, typically, resulted in him getting the sack. So he decided that he wasn't cut for the ordinary life, and his lifelong love of music seemed the best ticket to the bright lights of London. His first love was a drum kit but the rest of his family didn't quite appreciate his passion for hitting things very hard and he was forced to learn the trumpet.
His natural talent soon flourished and once he had mastered one instrument he quickly moved onto another until he had a whole arsenal of sounds at his disposal. So far so good, we have the makings of a classic multi-instrumental singer songwriter. Robert's early exposure to classic pop music like The Beatles came via his Mum and Dad's record collection - while Robert got into Kiss and Frank Zappa later on. Now he lists Bob Dylan, Serge Gainsbourg and John Lennon among his biggest influences.
Aided and abetted by his band mates he set about recording his album. Legendary producer Mike Hedges, who has produced everything from The Cure to Manic Street Preachers, cleared his schedule to record the album, and they even recorded it through the original EMI mixing desk used for Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon". Robert's debut record produced the big hits... 'Got None' and 'There's One Thing', which got him noticed in countries such as France and Italy (Number 1 for 5 weeks in January 2006). ...show less
