About Rob
I’m also a big fan of Motown. It was hearing songs like “Think” by Aretha Franklin and “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder that led me to first picking up the Bass guitar. A combination of the distinctive bass lines, tambourines, strong vocals, horn and string sections ticked all the boxes for me and is why Motown is still one of my biggest influences today.
