Growing Up
with Music
Music has been in Robert's family for generations, however he is the first to pursue a career in music. When Robert was a child, one of the first bands his parents introduced him to was Led Zeppelin.
But that's not the only way Robert's family has helped him find his sound. He has fond memories of Alfieri family reunions with a stage set up in the backyard and everyone gathering around and playing music – from the fiddle to the accordion –some would perform while others danced. At these reunions, Robert first experienced the feeling of performing on stage for an audience. Since then, his goal has been to do that for the rest of his life.


Finding His
Sound
At nine years old, Robert quit playing sports and picked up the guitar. He had long thought he would be a rock artist like Led Zeppelin. As time progressed, Robert realized he had more of a sultry, smooth voice, like Frank Sinatra or Michael Buble. After this realization, he started taking his voice and songwriting more seriously.
Today, Robert focuses on developing his voice as he pushes himself to improve and expand his boundaries by experimenting with different sounds and ideas, both with voice and instrumentally. Robert admits his most significant realization is that music is a powerful way to express emotion and the best way for him to connect and convey his genuine emotions to others. He looks forward to sharing his with the world as he expands to progressively larger stages.
