Who is Robert DiBlanco?
Bass player, drummer, singer, producer, engineer - at one time or another these are all hats that Robert DiBlanco has worn in the past or is still wearing today. Born in Germany, Robert DiBlanco established himself as one of the premier bassplayers in the european country music scene. After working with several successful projects in Germany DiBlanco moved to the United States. A short time after the move DiBlanco was already "back in the saddle", working with some of the most promising acts in the Texas Music scene.
Based out of Cypress, TX (northwest of Houston) DiBlanco keeps a busy schedule, performing live all over the great state of Texas and beyond with Diamond Music Group recording Artist Todd Fritsch as well as recording with various artists on a regular basis. Owner of his own recording studio, DiBlanco is no stranger to the task of engineering and/or producing records himself. Check out his website for a listing of records Robert DiBlanco has been involved with and to keep up with his current activities.
