Cavetown

Robin Daniel Skinner comes from an unusual musical nest. Both of his parents are prestigious classical. Their son learned to play guitar at the age of eight and switched to pop music. In 2012, Robin started posting songs on YouTube and Bandcamp. A global community has grown up around his melodic, imaginative bedroom pop. Skinner has sold out night after night of concerts in London, Los Angeles and New York. Fans queue for hours for tickets and bring kazoos to accompany their young hero. It’s all very authentic and organic. And it’s also got very big. Some numbers: 2 million subscribers on YouTube and nearly 300 million streams for cute pop tunes like ‘Boys Will Be Bugs’, ‘Devil Town’ and ‘This Is Home’. Don’t forget your kazoo!
