## Bio

Rob was born and raised in Bloomfield Hills, MI. He attended Andover High School and was in a band called listedBlack with Zubin Sedghi and Zach Krasman.

In the fall of 2002, during his sophomore year at the University of Michigan he played Tally Hall's first show with Zubin and Andrew Horowitz. Around the same time, he joined Joe Hawley's comedy troupe anonyMous, which also featured Rick Lax and Andrew Laurich.

He majored in Molecular Biology in college, with a minor in Non-Professional Music. He graduated in 2005, and turned down a full scholarship to med school at U of M to pursue music full-time with Tally Hall.

After Tally Hall, Rob worked as a commercial songwriter and composer in New York City. He then moved to Los Angeles, and released his solo album Not a Trampoline in March 2014.

He has had a number of notable solo successes, including his viral music videos for All I Need Is You, Perfect, and Shia LaBeouf (the latter of which won him a Webby Award in 2015).

You can also read Rob's personal bio from an old website in 2006.

## Website Bio

*rob is the one in the yellow tie. he hails from the rough-n-tumble streets of suburban detroit, where people constantly get into "beat it"-style knife-fights. he went to high school with zubin. after graduation, rob moved to ann arbor to begin studying for the mcats. meanwhile, an elusive, echoey voice constantly urged him to form a band. he did.*

when not tally halling, rob studies molecular and cellular biology. his favorite dvd, at the moment, is "sports night: the complete series." a must see. rob's songs are specially designed for romantic comedies starring hugh grant.

here are some other things about rob:

1. a large baby, rob broke his mom's coccyx during labor.
2. rob is an eagle scout.
3. rob is english for "to steal"
4. rob wonders, "did biblical characters ever make small talk?"\*\*
5. rob was reading zubin's bio. he noticed that zubin's favorite stage of mitosis is telophase. rob thinks zubin likes telophase because this is when the cleavage furrow develops, and zubin's one-track mind is amused by the word cleavage.
6. rob likes kurt vonnegut and barack obama.
7. npr is the greatest, says rob.
8. rob owns but has never read the following books:
	1. the federalist papers
	2. the tao of pooh
	3. the social transformation of american medicine (a pulitzer prize winner!)
9. number nine. number nine. number nine. number nine? number nine.
10. rob loves you.
11. rob is puzzled by the word biweekly. it means both twice a week and once every two weeks.
