Redwood released 6 singles & 1 album gaining critical & fan acclaim including a peoplesound number 1 download single & a 4 out of 5 review in q. The band worked hard but as the music scene started to drift away from guitar driven music & into a more dance & manmade pop styles the band were dropped.

When redwood ceased activities in 1999, rob, alongside alistair cowan (bass/vocals), began lazydog with fellow redwood members chris hughes (drums) & angus cowan (guitar).Lazydog was an outlet for a more acoustic based sound using three part harmonies with fuzz bass & sweet picking.

Lazydog played many gigs & recorded a new album with massive attack producer neil davidge who had just finished recording mezzanine. It was in this setting that rob found himself most comfortable using sounds & textures to create a fresh take on what was becoming a stale music scene. It was as lazydog that the band did their best work.

Rob then went on to produce & engineer many up & coming artists such as cooper temple clause, reuben & hotel lounge, & also md on projects such as fragile for universal. Robs influences lie in the music he was brought up on: crosby stills & nash, Bob dylan, jimi hendrix , eagles, peter gabriel, commodores, king crimson, Pretty much anything with guitars & harmony vocals!

Robblackham now works predominantly as a songwriter/producer for hire & is equally comfortable on collaborations & co-writes as he is writing bespoke songs or "off the peg" compositions for clients.
