Meet Rob Eberle | Singer/Songwriter

We had the good fortune of connecting with Rob Eberle and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rob, why did you pursue a creative career?
I’ve always known that I’ve wanted to have a life and career in the music industry. I grew up with music. My dad has always been involved in the music industry and has always inspired me to go after all of my goals. My dad has been in a band called “Iridesense” for almost 30 years now. I still remember going to all of their gigs and begging to perform with them at only 5 years old. There’s videos of me on stage holding a microphone that wasn’t connected and I always laugh. I think that’s what really inspired my love for performing. I also used to carry around a plastic shopping bag full of their CDs trying to sell them because I just wanted their music to be heard. I bring this up because my dad has inspired me so much and has really convinced me to chase my dreams.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Songwriting I feel is what sets me apart. I’ve been writing for forever. I wrote my first song at 12 years old. Writing about things that made no sense was definitely my forte back then. Whether that be made up situations in my head or me just throwing words together. As I’ve gone through my teenage years and experienced new things, I have been more open to writing about real life situations where I’ve felt vulnerable. It’s a coping mechanism for me for sure. Although my songs when I was younger might’ve not been the greatest things I’ve ever wrote, I believe my current songwriting today is what makes me strong in this industry. I also make Alternative Pop music and am very genre fluid. I just want to create. Even if I don’t make a hit song I just love to create using weird sounds; picking from literally every & any genre and I think that’s what we need more of in the industry. Over the pandemic I picked up music production and I feel that has opened my mind to be more creative and create less “traditional” pop music.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love going to the beach so I definitely would make the trip out to Long Island from New York City to go to one of the many beaches there. Long Island is where I grew up so it would be very nice to take some friends out to the beach down there. I love Jones Beach & Smith Point Beach in Yaphank so I would definitely choose between those two beaches.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I love this. I would love to shout-out my dad & friend Ethan for always being my rocks and constantly supporting me in all of my endeavors.
