Hello Lovely!
Basically in a nutshell, I'm a musician. I have been playing since I was a young child on various instruments. At the moment, Fender Bass is my primary live instrument, while Piano for is my true love for composing.
Though originally from Canada, I have lived and traveled through the US. Currently I am based in London, UK.
My career started at 13 playing guitar and drums in Rock bands, which ultimately led me to singing and songwriting. Eventually after several deals with Major labels in my early 20's, I got into Music Production.
In Toronto, I started working as a Freelance Audio Engineer which led me top put together great little studio in my house with all kinds of talent coming through. Thus I got into producing records.
At the same time British soul, Hip Hop and Dance labels were Releasing my work as an Artist, which led me to DJ back and forth across Europe where I would come to relocate.
...Always keeping busy behind the scenes, you might find my music pop up in the most unlikely of places. Strauss Commercial Creative has become my umbrella company for commercial Music in Film, Television, Corporate & Gaming Applications.
I have had the privilege to to work with some very talented people and have my music featured by some of the world's greatest Music Lovers. It's been an amazing journey, and I feel this is just the beginning.
Drop me a line on the BLOG and post a comment. If something peeks your interest, I would love to hear from you...
- Sincerely, Robert Strauss
