A multi instrumentalist, composer and professional musician since 25 years, Robert Len has played with numerous local and international well known artists like Oliver Jones and Colin James. He has recently joined the Hello Music team and the dis- tribution of his new album is guaranteed by Distribution Select. Robert Len captivated his audience last year by offering a high quality performance during which we could listen to some of his new album’s musical pieces. Concerts are in preparation with GIP Canada for the second half of this year and Robert should sur- prise us again with the unique and enchanting universes he cre- ates, using a wide range of musical instruments from around the world some of which require a particular and complex technique. The rhythms of the flutes, the Tibetan singing bowls and the didgeri- doos are enriched by multiple percussions, guitars and keyboards.
