Have you ever grown up with someone, lost touch with them, then reconnected with them only to find out they are now a musician (usually *gasp* a dj)? This is pretty common I think, it’s probably happened to you more than once. It’s this next part that is uncommon – the individual you used to know, has become an amazing musician.

Introducing Rob Fillo. He is not a dj (I realise the photo is misleading, I just liked it) he plays guitar and he sings in a style that I would call folk, or better yet indie-folk (so all you hipsters will actually listen). It’s in the vein of… well, I had a list in my head of all these artists I was going to name-drop here, but how about you just grab the song and have a listen for yourself. It’s only a matter of time before his music’s on all the blogs.

If you like it, head on over to his website – there’s a few more songs to listen to and links to purchase the album via cdbaby or individual songs via itunes.

Enjoy.
