Biography

Born in August 1987, Robbie grew up in the village of Marple near Stockport. A hyperactive child, Robbie's parents chose to channel his ebullient energy by sending him to dance, gym and music lessons.

As a child he was a member of the Northern Ballet Theatre Association where he played the role of a young Heathcliff in David Nixon's Wuthering Heights. He then went on to teach this role to other boys as he got older.

During this time, he worked with Les Miserables composer Claude-Michel Schonberg, who encouraged him to follow a career in musical theatre rather than just limit himself to ballet, as Claude-Michel thought Robbie was a great all-rounder.

After his AS levels, he went to Laine Theatre Arts and studied a diploma in musical theatre. Following his training he worked as a dancer at Tokyo Disneyland which was followed by a role in his favourite musical, We Will Rock You, in Germany. He is currently playing the role of Daniel Küblböck.
