Robert's star is on the rise, definitely.

He joined the band at the beginning of 2005, but he's been knowing the other guys for quite a long time, since he, like many of them, attended the prestigious "Thelonius Monk Institute of Jazz", and the University of Southern California.

He's one of the top-call drummers both on the touring and recording circuit. His experience varies from jazz to pop and his great talent has taken him to tour the world with artists like Bobby Watson, Tierney Sutton, The Clayton Brothers, Vanessa Rubin, The Benny Lackner Trio, Ingrid Jensen, He performed with Toni Braxton, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Terence Blanchard, Eric Reed, Leon Parker, Clark Terry Jimmy Heath... And now he's become part of the huge Buble Band family. I have yet to have the pleasure to shake his hand, because when he came to Milan with Michael at the beginning of 2005 we weren't introduced properly, but I'm sure he's no different from the rest of the guys : humble, nice and very passionate about what he does. Here's what he wrote me about this Bublé experience :

"it is a joy and a privilege to spend so much time traveling and playing music with a group of people that I know and love. As you know all of us in the band have known each other for quite some time and it is a blessing to so easily be able to "love the ones your with."
