My name is Robert Alexander Pettersen, and I was born in Oslo, Norway on 21.03.1984. I started playing drums when I was around eight or nine years old. By the time I was 15 I started playing professionally. Since then I have played with numerous artists, as a part of the Muddy Waters Blues Clubs houseband. Including Junior Watson, Rick Holmstrom, Alex Schultz, Lazy Lester and the late Rock Bottom to name a few.
Currently I'm playing with singer/songwriter Terje Nordgarden, RnB and Blues talent Joakim Tinderholt, harmonica ace Eirik Bergene and Billy T Band.
Hey Bro, I'm lookin' forward to join forces with you again and cut a killer album with Louisiana Red in Notodden. Try to stay outta jail 'til the end of the sessions...
