Rob De Boer + Brién

Known for his signature audio-visual style, smooth vocals, and evocative lyricism. His music draws on songwriting legends such as Bill Withers as well as contemporary voices in the alternative jazz space, including Puma Blue, Oscar Jerome, and Michael Kiwanuka.

Rob learned to play drums as a child while living in Egypt, shaping a global rhythmic sensibility that still defines his work. His sound fuses global groove influences with the complexity of jazz, blues, and soul.

In 2025 he released his debut album Man to You via London label Bridge the Gap - a terracotta-hued, soul-leaning record exploring identity, manhood, and relationships.

The record has garnered support from NTS, SOHO Radio, NPO Soul & Jazz, Wonderland, Line of Best Fit, RTÉ, and Jazz FM, and was awarded 5 stars in The Irish Times, where it was also named among top 5 Irish albums of the year.

He has performed at major Irish festivals including All Together Now, Electric Picnic, Forbidden Fruit, and Another Love Story, and also produces and performs as a drummer with fellow Dublin band, Papa Romeo.
