Bio
Robert is a professional producer, mixing engineer, guitar and bass teacher from Christchurch. He has been teaching guitar, bass and drums for 9 years professionally and has shown success in increasing his students skill level – taking each students needs and ensuring he gives them the right material and correct content to progress.
After completing his Guitar major in Jazz performance at Ara Musical Arts, he taught Guitar, Drums and Bass and played in a wedding band who did 93 gigs a year for the time he was involved. After two years in Christchurch, he sought a more hands-on musical experience in one of the cultural capitals of the world… Melbourne, Australia. In Australia, he took part in mentorship with some of Melbournes best musicians and producers and developed his own unique playing, songwriting, teaching and production skills, becoming a diverse player able to triverse most musical situations.
In January 2020, after spending two years immersed in the Melbourne scene, Robert sought to push his playing to another level by accepting a contract playing Bass Guitar on the luxury cruise ship “Celebrity Reflection”. During this time, Robert played a diverse range of daily shows for 3 months before Covid-19 stopped the world and forced him to return home to Christchurch in July of 2020.
In 2022, Rob opened “Brookside Audio” and started offering his mixing & production services online to great success. With over 25 projects under his belt, he began mentoring guitar, songwriting, production and mixing students at the prestigious SOLE academy in Christchurch. He is now offering private tuition from his studio in Woolston.
Roberts vast experience earning a living playing music has given him an emersion in performance and access to amazing musicians that most don’t get to experience. This, coupled with his proficiency in Drums, Bass, Guitar and Singing means his understanding of the contemporary band or production is deep and can be explained with an ease understandable by anybody.
