Born in Vietnam on the 29th of December 1968 to musical parents,Robin was instantly immersed into the life of a working,travelling musician.In Hong Kong at the age of 6,he picked up the guitar.He was taught by his father and immediately showed a natural affinity for the instrument.This proved to be the beginning of a musical journey which has taken Robin through Blues,Rock and jazz and back to Europe before arriving at his love and passion the music of Django Reinhardt.

Robin's move to Amsterdam in 1992 proved to be significant,as it was here,busking on the famous Leidseplein,that the Robin Nolan Swing Quartet established it'self as a refreshing newcomer on the scene.During the next few years Robin quickly gained success and notoriety not only on the Jazz scene and festival circuit,but also in the Rock and Pop world.He has been warmly praised by such musical icons as Bill Wyman,Willie Nelson and George Harrison.The ex Beatle invited Robin on numerous occasions to perform at parties which were thrown at his English country estate.

The Robin Nolan Swing Quartet became the Robin Nolan Trio in 1996 and through extensive touring and recording became internationally recognized as one of Gypsy Jazz's top outfits.From Tokyo to Toronto,Amsterdam to Austin,these years saw Robin tour the world and gain many new admirers while continuing to delight those already familiar with his exciting and hip take on Django's music.

It is his originality and compositional flair that sets Robin apart from the rest.His sound is instantly identifiable and thus,like the true greats has a voice of his own.
