Robert Leslie is an indie-folk artist known for performing on streets across Europe, North Africa, and New York city. His alluring voice, soaring melodies, dense poetic imagery, and freewheeling approach to life have garnered him a large and loyal following. Born in NYC, raised in London and Amsterdam, Robert left home at a young age and spent two years supporting himself as a traveling street performer, ping-ponging with the seasons between northern Europe and Morocco, finally winding up in Brooklyn. Since arriving stateside he’s made himself a well-known figure in both the venues and the streets of NYC, and has been featured in the New York Daily News, Timeout! Magazine, Examiner.com, The Queen Latifah Show, Deli Mag (voted upcoming artist of the month), and various other blogs and publications. He’s toured across three continents and yodeled his heart out to crowds large & small. Robert has put out four full-length albums and two EPs. His latest, Halfway Home, features production by Perry Margouleff (Maroon 5, Paul Rodgers), bass by Tony Garnier (Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Tom Waits), and keys by Jake Sinclair (Weezer, Panic! At the Disco). He currently lives in Seattle, WA, with the goal of better comprehending the mysteries of the spider, the whale, the crab, the porpoise, and so on.
