Biography:
“Picked by our head of music, there is no higher endorsement than that!” - Sarah Champion, Absolute Radio
In August 2012, Robert Bearsby found himself twelve thousand miles away from home in Australia without a penny to his name. “I walked into a hostel, gave the guy at reception my last few dollars for a bed and asked if I could leave my bags in their luggage storage at the end of the week so I could sleep on the street. I wasn’t scared about sleeping rough, but I did need to eat. So I picked up my guitar, sat down at the side of the road and I sang to anyone who would listen to me. Three months later I had made enough money to get back home to England and I felt like if I could do that. I could do anything.”.
“One of the strongest solo artists on the scene for a very long time!” - Wynona Grant, Fortitude Magazine
Since releasing his very first single 'Late Nights & Traffic Lights in September 2013 Robert has debuted at No. 45 in the iTunes Singer/Songwriter Chart, sold out his EP launch and been selected by the head of music at Absolute Radio as their emerging icon of the week.
