Биография

ONR is singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and self-taught producer born Robert Shields. Inspired – not to mention bored – at his family’s farmhouse on cliffs overlooking the North Sea in Scotland, Shields began writing and performing his own songs aged 12 or 13, teaching himself piano on a battered instrument missing half its keys that he uncovered in the family shed. His hard work caught the attention of a manager who flew him out to LA, and shortly after signed to Warner Records in the US, prasied as an exceptional raw musical talent. He quickly caught the attention and support of far more prestigious and established acts both as an artist and writer. He continued to hone his skills by fine-tuning his songwriting and perfecting his live show, performing gigs across Europe and the US, touring with acts like Bastille, Jake Bugg and Lewis Capaldi. Now Shields has finally figured out who he is as a songwriter, making music that is true to himself, of which he is proud.
