About Me

Robert grew up eating liver and onions. He also favored peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in his youth. Robert, although Italian, didn't like tomatoes or olives as a kid with kid tastebuds. Today Robert loves eating olives and P&J's. Not together, of course. He hasn't had liver and onions in a long time and still doesn't like eating tomatoes.... What? A band bio? Oh! I'll have to get back to you. Did you know that Robert DiMaio and The Beauty Junkies comes out June 5th, however? Now that's relevant stuff!
