Artist Information:

Rob Batie was born in St. Augustine, Florida, He begin playing the saxophone at the tender age of nine years old. His choice of instrument was due to the intrigue of the many keys the saxophone has. As a child he and his family moved around because his father was serving in the military. The family lived in Guam, NY, GA, MD, VA and Europe. While his home address changed frequently, the one constant in his life was music and sports. By the time he graduated from high school in Manassas VA, the young musician could play all four saxophones, as well as keyboards and drums.

He has performed as the headliner or opening act for various artists in Washington DC, Tampa, Miami, Los Angeles, and other cities across the US, Canada and Europe.

After a successful tour performing, Batie went into the studio to record his debut CD entitled Tunnel Vision. Receiving critical acclaim in cities like Montreal, Philadelphia, and Atlanta to name a few, Batie went back on the road to promote the new CD. Upon his return to Atlanta, he felt he the need for change so he relocated to the beautiful sands and surroundings of Miami Beach where he is expanding fan base.

Miami, with its sun, sand and fun inspired Batie to go back into the studio to record his second CD entitled Jazz Hustler, which was released in November, 2004 on Jazzman Land Music (his own label). Batie writes and arranges all his own music drawing on his vast and diverse experiences. When asked to describe his ideal demographic fan base, Batie states that his fans are a lot like himself, professionals and everyday people of all ages who have an insatiable thirst for creative, quality music that includes urban, fusion, reggae, Latin and progressive jazz.

Making music is and always will be his first love. In his current locations Batie performs in local Miami night clubs and lounges, promoting his newest – and already successful – release Love x 3 (picture below, on the right).
