While studying horn at the prestigious Curtis Institute, Robert cut his teeth as a top call session player at the legendary Sigma Studios in Philadelphia, where he played on countless gold records (see discograpy for details.) He soon added production and mixing to his arsenal of skills, doing sessions at the famed Record Plant Studios in NYC, L.A. and Sausalito, Enterprise Studios in L.A. BBC in London and many others, all the while maintaining a rigorous touring schedule as a singer and multi-instrumentalist with musical icons like Frank Zappa, Michael McDonald, Etta James (on tour with the Rolling Stones), and Musical Director for Bette Midler. He even managed to fit in recording sessions with Prince and Sheila E, the Moody Blues, and wrote horn arrangements for Gladys Knight.

In addition to the technical knowledge available to any audio student, Robert has the unique advantage of hands on learning in the real world - at the "Church of Etta James," the "University of Frank Zappa,” and arranging, performing, mixing and mastering with the legendary Wilson Pickett (Photo below.)

With training and experience at such a high level and broad range of styles, Robert’s world class ears became attuned to nuances of timbre and blend not available in merely technical school environments. He brings all this unique experience to every project, every mix, every master - experience and real world knowledge other mixers just don’t have.
