It’s a challenge to pinpoint exactly what artist or genre Rob draws his influence most. His song "Artist Soul", written for Heath Ledger, is a powerful tribute and speaks to anyone who appreciates an artistic nature. Rob’s songwriting has a depth and versatility which transcends the average predictable lyric. INTUIT is a song about Being REAL GOOD is about Chillin With Your Best Peeps JFKz Grave Reality and Hope MAYBE is about You and Whomever LATE TRAIN is a song about Flashbacks on a Train Ride BACK HOME is about Anyone You Miss GOODBYE is a song about Anyone You Have to Leave Behind DREAM is about Depending On Someone SAN DIEGO is about One of THE BEST U.S. Cities! Rob grew up from day one as an audio adventurer with his Dad in the speaker business. He gravitates more towards the philosophical and mystical side of life. This truly shows in his arrangement and message. Most of his songs have real “conclusions” that will give you a sense of total completion…like reading a short story. Rob vocals have a smooth, velvety richness. He writes his songs so they can relate to anyone on a broad spectrum of emotional and mental levels. As a kid Rob went retro young and immersed himself in his parent's music... the roots of Rock and Roll. In his teens Rob became a huge 60’s psychedelic fan absorbing and covering many bands that came out of the Woodstock Era into 70's Classic Rock. Grunge became his next obsession. Scott Weiland and the Stone Temple Pilots still remain his favorite singer and band…especially their chill work. Rob considers his acoustic guitar his best friend ever. An avid listener can tell he's influenced by all types of music. ENJOY a relaxing reflective ride with Rob Lord.
