Robert Robert

Robert Robert hails from Montreal and writes songs on his computer. BOOST, the artist’s new hopecore and kinetic album, highlights human connections as a response to the power outages that paralyze our brains. Like the electric shock felt when two hands brush against each other, Robert Robert invokes what brings us together, what drives us apart, and the energy hidden in these spaces.

Arthur Gaumont-Marchand’s musical journey began in his teens, at the height of the dubstep era. In the raves of his native Montreal, he found refuge behind the turntables and anchored himself in the alternative communities of the electronic scene. Robert Robert made a major shift in 2021 with the release of his first album as a singer-songwriter, Silicone Villeray, on Chivi Chivi.

BOOST emerged in 2025 after a period of reconnection between Robert Robert and his brother, which sparked a certain return to childhood for the artist. Faced with the whirlwind of life at the dawn of his thirties, he began the creative process in isolation, alone with his computer. He thus evacuated his overflowing thoughts without necessarily offering any solutions other than acceptance, recognition, and honesty. The album was mainly recorded at the Treatment Room, a little hidden gem in Mile End nestled between a railroad track and a lumberyard. Returning to a more instinctive mode of creation, his music draws here and there from pop, techno, electro, and dance influences, emphasizing sampling and making use of both virtual and acoustic instrumentation. Robert Robert recorded, composed, wrote, and produced this album alongside his co-pilot Benoît Parent, before entrusting the mixing to his friend Valentin Ignat.

Known for his magnetic and tireless stage presence, Robert Robert will take to the stage of the legendary Club Soda for the very first time at the launch of BOOST in February 2026. When our bearings fail us, we can always take refuge in his words and music, knowing that there is no place more welcoming than the eye of the storm.
