TESTIMONIALS
RAY MARTIN (AM) JOURNALIST & PRESENTER
I have known and worked closely with Robert Rigby for more than 30 years. Professionally, I have found him to be impeccable – dependable, highly creative with both people and ideas, always musically innovative. Personally, I regard Robert as a great friend – compassionate, wise and a man with real soul. Over the years, we have worked together on high-rating, network television specials - and other related promotional events - with music legends like Michael Crawford and k d lang, along with a wide range of talented Australian recording artists. Robert is the best in the business, with unmatched experience and judgement.
HUMAN NATURE (ANDREW TIERNEY) RECORDING ARTIST
Working closely with Robert for our last 2 album projects was a super experience. As an artist, to know you have someone who can help bring your vision to life and connect you with the right collaborators is so important. Robert has an infectious passion for music and his energy fuels everyone involved. Getting an unsolicited call from Robert to say how much he loved a song or mix or production we were working on together was such a buzz. Whenever Robert said he would find a way to make something happen for the music we were crafting, he never let us down.
MICHAEL CRISTIANO PRODUCER
Robert Rigby is one of the last, true A&R Managers still working in the music industry and is at the top of his game. His innate ability to match an artist with a song is a rare gift indeed, but it’s his true love of music that makes him so unique. While other A&R Managers often get lost in the media and the hype, Robert gets lost in the song and the artist and that is his greatest strength. His knowledge, passion for the industry and his seemingly never ending fountain of ideas have launched many successful careers and his energy and enthusiasm to keep discovering and developing new artists is boundless.
JUSTIN STANLEY PRODUCER
Robert Rigby was a vital collaborator as A&R on the Gary Pinto Sam Cooke album project. From the inception to completion he helped the project run smoothly, communicated with all participants throughout and most importantly was always passionate and creatively supportive to help make this the best record possible. Thanks again Robert. We couldn't have done it without you.
GARY PINTO RECORDING ARTIST
As my A&R Director for two albums, I can honestly say that Robert Rigby is one of my favourite A&R Directors. The best I’ve ever worked with in 30 years of recording with a number of record companies and collaborators. Robert’s approach to making a record is to me, unparalleled - in fact the two records I made with Robert are the ones I’m most proud of. Like any truly great A&R person, he allows the Artist the freedom to make decisions about the creative direction of the record, whilst teaming up the right people to ensure the best possible outcome. I hope to make more records with Robert in the future and regard him as an incredible A&R Director and now a dear friend.
