Robert Francis

Robert Francis (born September 25, 1987, in Los Angeles, California, U.S.) is a multi-instrumentalist, folk  Americana singer-songwriter. His debut full-length, One By One was released in August 2007 by Aeronaut Records. The record has gained attention due, in part, to Francis's musical performances that stem from his "eccentric classical-record-producer and pianist father, a Mexican mother who frequently invited her sisters over to sing Ranchero songs, a Hari Krishna brother, and two older sisters who were in various rock bands that played in clubs all over the city.".

His sound is distinguished by his "bright, gravelly baritone," often conveying the emotion of a "hardened performer.".

"One by One" was nominated for the Shortlist Music Prize in 2007.

One of his popular songs,Junebug, was featured as a free song on itunes for a week.

His unreleased song "Don't forget Love" was featured in a Zales diamond commercial that was spoofed on Jay Leno.

He is one of the few artists ever to sign to High Road Touring (Wilco, Ryan Adams, Feist) without a proper label.
