Rob began playing the drums at the age of two in his Philadelphia home on a kit that belonged to his father. Shortly after moving to South Jersey with his family in 1999, he was given his first drum set.

Rob performed with numerous bands, and recorded in different studios throughout his high school and college career. However, the one thing he loved most about his experiences was the recording process itself.

Rob currently plays full-time with the South Jersey cover band STEALING SAVANAH, tours with original groups, and does recording sessions on-site or from his home studio. When he isn’t gigging or teaching, he is recording songs for artists all over the world!

A Part of Something Real.

My son loves the idea of being a part of something real. He loves learning more about music and not just from a book, but practical application. It's been a wonderful experience.

She can be the singer she wants to be.

My daughter loves it. Her vocal coach will let her work on songs that she likes so she can be the kind of singer that she wants to be. Everyone there is super nice and friendly and they don't judge you.
