Robin Stanley BIO

Robin Stanley is originally from Vancouver Canada, and was mainly inspired by the British new wave music revival that happened at the end of the seventies. Taking his cue from Ray Davies and JoeStrummer, Robin's charisma made him a natural frontman to a number of bands that played to audiences at some legendary Vancouver clubs during the eighties.

In the early 90's he moved to the suburbs and set up a home studio, where he developed his songwriting and recording skills. He became a multi-instrumentalist, learning to play bass, keyboards, harmonica as well as guitar.

Robin enjoys listening to a wide range of music like Ray Davies, Joe Strummer, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Nirvana, The Beatles, David Bowie, The Beach Boys, The Doors, The Who, Rolling Stones, Sparklehorse and Leonard Cohen.

He's been called a "lost romantic," and his songs reflect life's mysteries, heartbreak and rewards. Robin contributed a song each to Unsound Vol 1 in 1998 and Burnt Marshmallows and Teeny Bikinis in 2000, both international indie releases.

In 2004 Robin released his first CD, "Mad Kingdom," and began reaching out to music fans around the world.

He also resumed live performances at smaller music venues in and around the Vancouver area.

In August of 2007 Robin released his second CD, "Chronic Empire," and further expanded his radio exposure and fan base.

Both "Mad Kingdom" and "Chronic Empire" are available through CD Baby and on iTunes. The links can be found on this website on the LINKS page.
