Helen
Lilley
Starting out his life in the music industry just like his
extremely famous namesake with the surname Williams, Leeds based
Robbie Glover was a member of a boy band, not Take That but
3-Street! Unlike Robbie Williams' band Take That, during their
time together 3-Street never released a single but did turn on
various Christmas lights, do radio roadshows with artists
including OTT (An Irish boy band). The biggest crowd that the band
played to was roughly 7000 people. People even climbed on
telephone boxes just so that they could see the band.
For
Robbie this was an amazing feeling and "very overwhelming".
Leaving 3-Street behind, Robbie's gone solo. Before doing my
research into him, I'd heard of him but didn't really know much
about his music. It is mainly pop but does have an R&B edge to
it. Robbie's main musical influences being Matt and Luke Goss from
Bross fame. I have to admit now that I liked Robbie's music more
than what I thought I was going to and would highly recommend that
you visit his official site www.robbieglover.co.uk
yourself to check it out. Robbie plays the drums. At the age of 12
he was in the Leeds College of music playing them at weekends and
at the age of 14 even played at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
When asked what he thought he might be doing in five years
time, Robbie replied that he hoped he would still be doing
something musical either as a professional career if things take
off or as just a hobby. But he said that it is "a very difficult
question because you really can't tell what you will be doing".
This is true but with the amazing amounts of support that he has
received previously and will hopefully continue to receive, his
career is sure to take off!
I'm
still on the look out for other new bands/artists from the area to
write about so if you are one or know of any please get in touch.
Also if you are from the Yorkshire region and have or are planning
on applying to be in talentSTAR.biz: The Show get in touch too as
I am extremely interested in following your story.
