The music of Robbie John is proudly self-described as “music that means something.” His sound spans multiple genres, including acoustic, rock, and pop, anchored by the constant warmth of strings and orchestra.

Given the choice between impressing crowds with talent or moving individual hearts with stories, Robbie would choose the latter every time.
