Thank you for your interest in my music! My name is Rob Fillo. I'm a songwriter at heart, crafting tunes across various genres with a catalog of over 150 original tracks ranging from alt-rock to children's choral music. My inspiration comes from the spiritual essence, or aether, surrounding us and my reflections on my experiences and the human condition in general.

Performing is where I truly shine. I've played countless shows, from street corners to festival stages, each one an opportunity to for my songs to connect deeply with audiences. Whether strumming my guitar or playing piano, I complement my vocals with lyrical depth and solid instrumental composition. My performances are grounded in authenticity, vulnerability, and a genuine connection with the crowd.

Influences

It is difficult to directly compare Rob Fillo’s music to other artists as it seems to contain aspects of many, but imitations of none: Jeff Buckley’s passion for subtle innovation and dynamic vocals, Townes Van Zandt’s blend of cerebral yet straightforward lyrics and intricate finger-picking, and Tom Wait’s courage to write and produce a song in his own unique way. Rob has also taken cues from his favourites including Nat King Cole, Bruce Springsteen, Chet Baker, Scott Walker, Daft Punk, Vera Lynn, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Willie Nelson, Tom Yorke, Vera Lynn, Billie Holiday, Wes Montgomery, Johnny Cash and so many more. Rob loves music and can be found listening intently, mesmerized and mystified, surrounded by his collection of vintage records. Old music is just better...
