About / Biography

Jazz pianist and multi-instrumentalist Robert Dimbleby has been making a name for himself with his original blend of jazz, funk and soul music from a young age. His videos online have amassed millions of views and he has performed across Europe, Australia, and at venues and festivals in the UK such as Ronnie Scott’s, BBC Studios, Abbey Road Studios, The Blue Note, The Apex, Camden Assembly, Notting Hill Arts Club, Westminster Park Plaza Hotel, Bestival, YNOT festival, The Leadmill, Oxford Union, The Royal Institute, Olivier’s Jazz Bar, The Fox and Firkin, MAP café, Deda Theatre, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, The Sage Newcastle, Norwich Arts Centre and many more with a huge variety of bands ranging from the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, to Mercury Prize nominee Sam Lee, to NME top 100 band Patawawa.

Robert holds a distinction in Grade 8 piano and a DipABRSM in classical piano performance and he is now working as a professional jazz pianist in London, performing at jazz clubs, private events and weddings, guests to which have included such names as Liam Neeson and Daniel Day-Lewis. His versatility and love of many genres allows him to put together exciting sets of music to cater exactly to the tastes of what is required on each occasion. Whether it's relaxed background jazz, lively pop to get those feet moving, or a set of elegant classical music, Robert's breadth and depth of repertoire will bring the setting to life!

In addition to being a regular performer, Robert is an avid composer and has released over 6 albums worth of original music in which he plays all instruments, as heard on BBC radios across the country. Inspired by pianists such as Oscar Peterson, Wynton Kelly, Kenny Barron, Mulgrew Miller, Erroll Garner, Herbie Hancock, Jason Rebello and Joe Sample, Robert is known for his strong rhythmic feel, lively touch, and soulful improvisational chops on the piano.

Whatever the context, Robert's aim is always to play with soul and feel and share his love of music with the world.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Yes, happy to provide an iPod / background music service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

The biggest gig I've ever done was performing on the main stage at YNOT festival, or perhaps BBC studios. It was amazing to get to perform to thousands of people, or in the case of BBC studios, the whole nation!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

My biggest influences are jazz pianists Oscar Peterson and Wynton Kelly, and my favourite song is probably Skylark or Someday My Prince Will Come


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I have been performing since the age of 13 and have enjoyed gigging since then at many amazing venues in the UK and beyond.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

I love just creating an atmosphere at whatever the event may be. Some background jazz piano at a wedding adds a lovely touch of class!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Honestly, the time very much varies from client to client, anything from 30 mins to 3 hours I have done before.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes absolutely, as long as it's not raining or there is a gazebo.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Yes I'm more than happy to learn any requests.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients have described my performances as top notch and incredibly personalized to their music tastes.
