Биография

Rob Bravery was born in Bristol, UK and grew up in a small town on the outskirts. He left school at the earliest opportunity to explore music on his own terms, tagging along with local rock / indie outfits and honing his skills as guitarist and drummer. In his early twenties he began writing and recording seriously, settling on piano as his favoured medium and quickly learning how to layer/overdub himself as a full band. He moved to London in 2007 and joined Alessi's Ark as a session keyboard player, occasionally opening for her on tour and eventually catching the ear of EMI Music who signed his debut release ‘The Elusive Crux’ in 2011. His sophomore album ‘Esque’ was released on indie labels Fullfill / Squat Sound to some acclaim in 2015 signalling a shift in his sonic approach that would better reflect the themes of isolation and estrangement in his lyrics. His new sound was fully realised on 2016’s ‘You Take Half - EP’ (Sony / Insanity) which was co-produced by Sneaker Pimps’ Liam Howe (Lana Del Rey, FKA twigs).
