Rob Fillo’s music serves as medicine for the soul, evoking deep emotions and creating lasting connections. Fans are drawn to his honest and vulnerable lyrics, captivated by his soulful melodies, unique sense of rhythm, and passionate delivery.

Fillo’s transcendent alternative folk stylings are a tapestry woven from various influences, embodying the passion of Jeff Buckley, the cerebral accessibility of Townes Van Zandt, and the fearless creativity of Tom Waits.

As a powerhouse solo-acoustic artist, Rob commands attention without gimmicks, loopers, or special effects. His mesmerizing voice and originality create an authentic and magical experience, transporting audiences on a journey of mental and emotional discovery, allowing space for both joy and catharsis.

 Rob’s music has been a hit at numerous festivals, including a headlining role at the Sips & Sounds Festival, mainstage appearances at the Harmony Arts Festival, and a performance at National Hockey Day in Canada. He has also graced many provincial and municipal events, such as the BC Legislature’s Canada Day Celebrations and various performances hosted by the City of Victoria and surrounding municipalities. His versatility shines at corporate gatherings, house concerts, and wedding performances, as well as at non-profit events like the Back In Motion Christmas Party and the Point Ellice House Music in the Garden Series.

In June 2023, Fillo made his official Spotify debut with the single "This Old Train," produced by multi-award-winning John Ellis. This alt-country road-tripping song radiates a happy message and wholesome energy. He followed this release with his inaugural Christmas album, Halfway Through The Dark, a self-produced exploration of original alt-pop and orchestral arrangements.

In 2024, he experimented with alt-rock catharsis, releasing original singles "Insane" and "Troubled Times." Fillo also branched into choral music with the publication of a childrens' choir unison arrangement for his original elementary school graduation song "Precious Moments," along with multiple arrangements for "We Choose Love: A Song of Hope and Peace." He plans to return to his folk roots in late 2024 and into 2025. With a burgeoning catalog of over 100 original songs, Rob is dedicated to performing, publishing and recording his artistry. His focused approach to advancing his music career is already yielding remarkable results.

Fillo infuses every note with love and passion, and his profound sense of meaning and responsibility in crafting music resonates in every lyric he sings, showcasing his dynamically trained vocal cords and diligently honed musicianship. After dedicating a significant part of his life to mastering the art of songwriting and honing his unique, self-taught musical stylings across multiple instruments, Rob Fillo is a world-class artist ready to be discovered.
