Rob received a classical piano training, first while a music scholar at Fettes College and then on the music course at Bristol University. However, it was to be in the songs of the 1940s, jazz and more contemporary popular music that Rob was to find his natural territory. Using repertoire from these genres, along with his talent for improvisation, Rob has performed at various high profile events, including corporate events, prestigious openings, weddings and even 90th birthday parties. He has performed in front of a variety of people and dignitaries, including the late HRH Princess Margaret.

Recent engagements include playing for events at The Ivy; Pizza on the Park Jazz Club; The Dorchester; The Berkeley; The Lanesborough; The Mandarin Oriental; The Belvedere; Fulham Palace; Wilton Music Hall; Wellington Arch; Ironmongers’ Hall and the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich for clients including Barclays Capital; Anglo-Irish Bank; Ann Summers; Saunderson Hall; Tamara Beckwith; Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres and Her Majesty’s Armed Forces. In addition to these and others events at some of the UK’s leading hotels, Rob has played at various piano bars, including a regular slot recently in West London, where his playing was particularly well received.

Rob is also a keen song-writer and has written a musical, which was performed in Bristol. He lives in London, (but also has a base in Scotland).
