Rob de Boer

Rob de Boer is an Irish-Dutch singer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and visual artist currently based between London and Dublin.

His music inspired by the work of songwriting legends including Bill Withers, and vital present-day voices in the alternative soul-jazz crossover space, including Oscar Jerome, Puma Blue and Michael Kiwanuka,

Rob has made a name for himself through his distinctive audio-visual approach, smooth vocal tones and evocative lyricism. As a multi-disciplinary creative, his work in film and photography has taken him across the world. His music draws upon Latin and Afro-rhythmic sensibilities, as well as the comfort of Motown blues, funk and soul.

He explores identity, notions of manhood and relationships across his terracotta-hued, soul-leaning debut album ‘Man to You’ which releases on 16th May via Bridge the Gap. The record comes after a string of well received singles, which have drawn widespread support from the likes of Wonderland, Line of Best Fit, RTÉ, NTS, and Jazz FM. The recent single Our Own Way was accompanied by a stunning, Bob Fosse-inspired jazz-dance video co-directed by Rob and Douglas Reddan and is exemplary of Rob’s multi-disciplinary approach as he uses his skills as a film maker to expand his musical universe.
