My Story and Skills

Welcome!

Where music and dreams come a live! Hello out there in the virtual world! This is Bob K coming to you from my Cellar Dweller Recording Studio. I’ve always had these sound waves, melodies, tunes, cascading soundscapes ringing in my ears. My musical influences are very wide indeed. Furthermore I grew up with Jimi, Page and Beck. Bach, Mozart, Chopin, and the great Debussy are also so dear to my ears. Certainly the great flamenco guitar players and classical guitar soloists play a great inherent influence when needed. There are so many more great musicians that I draw from. Above all I love music of all varieties shapes and forms. Finally this helps me create all of the different types of music that I compose and record. Please feel free to comment or drop me a line. All are welcome! Don’t worry I have thick lizard skin………..
