Robert Irvin (He/Him/His) is a pianist/composer/producer currently residing in Ithaca, NY. Robert began his musical journey at the age of 6 taking piano lessons. By the age of 8, he was listening relentlessly to various styles of music. It was at this point where his passion truly began to show.

From then onward, Robert continued his private piano studies playing music from the classical library. In his late childhood, after transferring to a new school that offered music, Robert grew very passionate about improvisation. From this, he dove into the opportunity of playing Piano in a jazz ensemble.

Along with jazz, he also engaged in accompanying, playing the Viola, acting in musical theatre, and singing in choirs. Ultimately, his passion for improvisation, musical theater, and songs from the Great American Songbook solidified his passion for Jazz.

In his collegiate studies, he was introduced to composition and arranging under the guidance of Mike Titlebaum at Ithaca College. His experience of life itself and those during his collegiate education are a huge factor in his musical voice.

Currently, Robert works on learning the traditions of Jazz music, composing new works inspired by original improvisations, collaborating with artists, and producing his own music.

In 2023, Robert graduated with a B.M. in Jazz Studies from Ithaca College.
