About Me

Rob Dova will open for Bon Jovi June 8th in Puerto Rico!


The NEW Rob Dova CD release is now available!!


Based in New York City the Rob Dova story is one of tragedy turned into triumph. A story about chasing your dreams no matter what the cost.
Rob was, and is a top-flight bass player (endorsed by Fodera) who was playing for fun with bands in the NY area while enjoying a successful career as a lawyer/business man.
Everything changed when Rob's mother suddenly became ill, and was diagnosed with lung cancer. His mother unfortunately got worse passing soon after. This event changed Rob's path in life forever. In his mothers last few days she begged Rob to look deep inside, and to follow his heart, as well as his dreams.
Rob took to heart what his mother said, and started to write songs as a way of expressing the myriad of emotions he was experiencing. One after another the songs poured out of him, as they never had before, not only as a bass player, but now also as a singer/songwiter.
Rob found inside of himself a voice that he never knew existed. One song turned into ten, which soon turned into over 100 songs that Rob had written in the next several months.
These songs became the launching pad, and eventually the foundation of the band Rob Dova.
Rob decided to pursue his dream of Rock N Roll stardom full time regardless of the risk, and gave up his successful legal/business career. Rob put a band of like minded musicians together with one goal in mind; to create great music, and to be the hardest working band out there.
Strong melodies and hooks combine to create radio friendly songs that are the core of Rob Dovas debut CD. Always the hard working performer, the combination of great songs combined with high energy, and emotion, deliver a powerful live performance, and experience you won't soon forget.
Press:
From the picture on the cover, you might suspect this is just another pretty-boy bassist with a groovy symbol for his initials, but the music quickly dispels that notion. Rob Dova provides an interesting blend of songs and styles that should easily find a home on mainstream radio - NY Rock.com
