His delicious voice echoes Jack Johnson to create a sunkissed, laid-back sound which is all his own.
Rob de Boer is an Irish-Dutch singer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and visual artist.
In 2025 he released his debut album Man to You on London jazz label Bridge the Gap.
Man to You was awarded 5 stars in The Irish Times, and named among top 5 Irish albums of the year alongside likes of CMAT and Niall Breslin. The record has garnered widespread support from press and radio outlets in UK, Ireland and Netherlands like RTÉ, NTS, SOHO Radio, NPO Soul & Jazz, Wonderland, Line of Best Fit and Jazz FM.
Rob learned to play drums as a child while living in Egypt, shaping a global rhythmic sensibility that still defines his work. His sound fuses global groove influences with elements of jazz, blues, and soul.
Rob is a multi-disciplinary artist also working with film and photography to elevate his music. He created striking visuals to accompany singles on the album, including a Bob Fosse-inspired jazz-dance music video for Our Own Way, earning him an Emerging Director’s Award and a shortlist at the Young Director Awards in Cannes.
Following sold-out album launch shows in Dublin’s Grand Social and London (Roasting Shed) and a busy run of gigs over the winter, Rob continues to tour the record in 2026 while working on new music.
He has performed at major Irish festivals including All Together Now, Electric Picnic, Forbidden Fruit, and Another Love Story.
