Rob Giles: The Unconventional Symphony of a Musical Journey

The tale of Rob Giles reads like a score with unexpected key changes. After crafting his path through four solo studio albums, collaborations with renowned bands like The Rescues and icons like Andy Summers of the Police, and multifaceted roles as a producer and co-writer on numerous celebrated albums, he took an abrupt exit from the music scene.

His silence wasn't a loud announcement. No social media proclamation, no confiding in friends—the curtain fell silently. The reason behind his retreat was hidden within the confines of vocal cords that had seemingly betrayed him. The inability to sing without pain or sustain his range, a silent distress signal from his voice, led him to bid adieu to his professional musician avatar.

The story doesn't end with music. Parallel industries welcomed Rob—a transition into television and film writing, marking the birth of multiple successful series.

But silence wasn't his ultimate chord. His intuition, that inner melody, beckoned for a leap into the unknown. And so, the chords of life struck a different note. Not a new record, but a journey toward academia—into the realms of trauma and addiction therapy. However, fate had a different composition in store. A friend's request for another Rob Giles record sparked an improbable tune. Despite his silenced vocal cords, the writer in him couldn't be stifled. 'Meditation Drive-thru,' an eclectic compilation of 11 songs, emerged—a testament to making the most out of life's grains of sand and singing despite a lost voice.

The story doesn't end with music. Parallel industries welcomed Rob—a transition into television and film writing, marking the birth of multiple successful series. Yet, amidst this newfound crescendo, he sensed a different kind of muting, a sense of losing his voice in other realms. Rob Giles' symphony echoes resilience and versatility. From Grammy-winning singer-songwriter to a pivot into film and television writing, his achievements stand tall. His songs, taught in Berklee College of Music, echo the resonance of his musical legacy. Today, Rob stands at the crossroads of multiple artistic endeavors—a stage musical collaboration with luminaries, ongoing television series in development, and his pursuit of becoming a licensed therapist. The music may have paused, but Rob Giles' melody persists—evolving, adapting, and resonating across unconventional yet harmonious notes, penning a narrative that transcends genres and echoes the symphony of a life tuned to unpredictability.
