Robert Sandall
Robert Sandall was born in London and studied English at Oxford and Cornell University in the USA. He played in a series of punk and post-punk rock bands that 'have not gone down in history'. He then became a 'ski-bum' for three years - a combination of working and having fun on the slopes of Europe. At the same time, he continued his association with music and began to compose incidental music for radio plays. He began writing about music in 1986, contributing reviews and features to a number of publications, and became one of Q magazine's main feature writers.    
    
In 1988, Robert was appointed as the Sunday Times rock critic and in 1990 became co-presenter on Mixing It, BBC Radio 3's eclectic mix of rare, strange and beautiful sounds. Robert presents the show with musician Mark Russell. In the early Nineties, Robert became a presenter for Anglia Television and the cable channel VH1.


Robert's hobbies are skiing, scuba diving, wine and eating out. He lives in West London.
