Rob Nar

Rob Nar’s influences include a variety of artists and genres, from classical and rock music to the latest pop electronic sounds, passing through a wide range of styles and cross-discipline insights (mainly involving architecture and the visual arts). Having a strong influence from British culture and music from his time in the UK, his music also shows personal approaches to blending acoustic and electronic instruments. Interpretations and combinations of dichotomies, such as natural-artificial and global-local, together with original melodies, are present in his inspiration to write and produce songs, which reflect the impregnation of a complex, diverse world.

Rob Nar is originally from Seville (Spain), but his main music influence comes from the UK, where he has lived for several periods: first in Glasgow, as an Erasmus student, and several times in London, as a visiting researcher of the Architectural Association. Rob is largely a self-taught musician. As a child, he learnt to sing traditional Spanish music from his father. As a teenager, he played the drums in a pop band, and would later start to play the guitar, the bass, compose songs, and sing as a way to occasionally play in another two bands. He has ended up composing and producing his own songs as a solo artist, as he loves creating and experimenting with his own music in the studio. This is how his first single, One from a distance, inspired by the lockdown due to the global health crisis in 2020, came about.
