Toulouse, France

Close to Robert is a French musician born in Scotland, composer, author, singer, pianist, producer, environmental activist, formerly elected to the town hall of Toulouse, France. His music mixes pop melodies, crooner voice, catchy bass lines, jazzy piano and synth solos. His compositions would be different without the Beatles, Bowie, Gainsbourg, Bashung, 80s synthpop, the Roland JX3P synth... Close to Robert likes eclectic musicians, pop in the broad sense, like Chilly Gonzales, Jeanne Added, The Divine Comedy, Lana del Rey, Benjamin Biolay, Emilie Simon, Sébastien Tellier, Get Well Soon... Ecology takes a major place in his lyrics, in a perspective that is both realistic and optimistic, because we have no other choice but to believe in humanity.
