Hi! I'm Robin Joynson and I am a singer / songwriter from Christchurch, who writes short, catchy, folk-pop songs. I sing, play guitar and play glockenspiel. I've self-released two E.P.s (one of which has been reviewed in the Daily Echo) and I like to play gigs and open mic-nights. All my songs are streaming on my MySpace page.
I was born in England in 1993 with severe hearing problems; I only had 20% hearing till the age of four. As a child I had the privilege to travel around the world with my mother, experiences many cultures. My mother’s musical tastes influenced me from a young age, with the likes of led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Kurt Cobain and Pink Floyd.
We moved to Spain four years ago and I was introduced to the piano, which led me into guitar and to sing. My passion for music grew and I began writing my own original material. I have now written over 80 songs, all based on my personal experiences of life.
I moved back to England a few months ago and am hoping to forge my music career; I would describe my style of music as acoustic, urban folk, pop.
