About Me


I created this profile using the Skize.com MySpace Profile Editor which is really easy to use. You can also check out their other selection of MySpace Layouts !
Roberto Began studying music at a young age both in Canada and Europe. His love of flamenco and classical guitar music led him to venture into other genres such as jazz, blues and of course rock'n'roll. All of these genres combined inspired him to begin writing his own instrumental compositions and vocal songs. By the 90's, Roberto was signed to Hi-Rise Music(Sony) and recorded 4 albums in 5 years. He also toured both North America and Europe on three seperate occasions during this period. Roberto eventually left the label to pursue producing other artists, scoring films and sitting in as a session guitarist for several different artists. He has worked with artists such as, Oh Susanna, Rae Billing, Linda Raine, Chester Miller, Mikey Power etc. Over the years, Roberto was also privilaged to work with notable producers such as, Peter J. Moore (Cowboy Junkies, Holly Cole etc.), Paul Milner (Keith Richards, Eddy Grant etc.), Ingo Schleicher (Exciting Cafe, Soul Flasher etc.) and Jim Zolis (Celine Dion etc.). Roberto has scored the films, Helena (Romania), Obscure Alternatives (Hungary) and Hard Core Logo (Canada). Currently, Roberto is close to wrapping up his self-produced 5th album, "Into The Wind". The cuts you're hearing on this page will appear on this new record. Roberto is planning to tour once again after the release of his new album. Some cuts are available for purchase on www.songplanet.com/robertophilipp. "I wish every artist much happiness, success and inner peace!" Roberto PhilippP.S. Please visit my late brother's Tribute Page @ www.myspace.com/antoniophilipp. Antonio Philipp passed away on February 11, 2001. He was 47 years old and a passionate, brilliant artist. ALSO, PLEASE visit my good friend and one of my mentor's page www.myspace.com/pasqualelorello. This gentleman gave me my first break teaching guitar at his school when I was sixteen years of age. I was young, green, eager and humbled by his profound knowledge of music. He is now well into his golden years and still records classics from all four corners of the globe. He NEVER gave up! He is a MASTER of the accordian. If you listen to his style, you probably agree that you've never heard nuances like his anywhere. I'm so happy that he decided to give myspace a go!
