About

 
 

Rob Amoruso is a writer / producer / mix engineer based in Melbourne, Australia.

Since the very beginning, Rob found himself surrounded by music. From a family of musicians, he picked up his first instrument at two years old, and by the age of five had graduated to full musical performances with his family.  

Cutting his teeth playing in church gospel bands, Rob’s love for music flourished. Not bound by any specific style or genre, Rob always just loved playing. He played various instruments in several bands with his friends from age twelve onwards, hitting any pub/club/community event that would have them. The seed was planted.

In 2013, Rob and his four best mates were in the habit of hosting the odd house party or two – these parties would see the group set their instruments up in their living room and jam to all hours of the morning while the party raged around them. Word began to spread, both about the parties and about the musical escapades that took place at them, and the boys decided to give the band a name – and Jakubi was born. 

Over the next 5 years playing sold out tours, parties and festivals across North America with Jakubi, Rob discovered his true passion lay in writing and producing with people of all backgrounds, styles and genres. This was fuelled further after spending a year being mentored by writer/producer duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (Janet Jackson, Boys II Men, Mariah Carey).

After some time off in his hometown of Melbourne, Rob came into 2019 refreshed and reinvigorated, with writing/producing/engineering firmly established as his new goal.  

Rob has worked across an expansive range of genres - writing and collaborating with producers such as Scott Storch (Dr Dre), Eric Hudson (Chris Brown), and Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie) and artists ranging from Kelly Rowland and Macy Gray, to established Australian acts such as The Rubens, Kyle Lionhart, Isabella Manfredi and Hannah Joy (Middle Kids).

Rob has amassed over 50 million streams across online music platforms.
