About Me


Ivan Robles was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, where from an early age, he became interested in music and songwriting. Although never classically trained, he began writing music on guitar and lyrics for a rapidly growing collection of songs. It quickly became more than a hobby and he began seriously thinking about forming a band and performing for live audiences. He joined group after group, but never found a writing chemistry that was up to his standards or musicians as driven as he was. He briefly lived in New York City, meeting musicians with a different mindset from those he'd met in is hometown. He was inspired by talented artists who didn't rely on each other during the writing process, but, rather for criticism and advice that allowed for their further growth as musicians.
After returning to California, he began attending the Los Angeles Recording School in Hollywood where he met Zach Ross. Both realizing that they had many musical commonalities, they formed Harlo . That was a brief, but productive undertaking.
He is currently working on a new project with three very talented musicians, writing and composing for an album.
Currently, Ivan Robles Music is a four-piece band. Check them out at your local venue to see how dynamically music can evolve.
