Check out some more of Robert's music


INTRODUCTION
Multiple award winning composer, Robert Sands, has been creating music for TV, film, song production, jingles and corporate video for over 25 years. Working out of his state-of-the-art recording facility in rural Hunterdon County, NJ, Robert's creations run the gamut from fully electronic scores to acoustic ones, from producing a slamming R & B track one day to an old time country song the next. From his beginnings playing in rock bands as well as a stint as keyboardist for Robert Hazard and the Heroes (Hazard wrote "Girls Just Want To Have Fun") Robert went on to work alongside Academy Award winning composer, Joe Renzetti, assisting with scores for Poltergeist III as well as other feature films and primetime television shows. TV Network daytime dramas are also something that Robert has been involved with, having spent 10 years scoring Another World, As The World Turns and Guiding Light. He was honored with two Emmy awards for his music during that period. With such a diverse background, Robert's ability to create music in the widest varieties of genres clearly makes him a valuable addition to any creative project.

Robert's versatility and attention to detail has earned him a total of four Emmy Awards as well as countless other awards and nominations for his eclectic, powerful and stimulating compositions. Passionate and evocative music is never in question – so whether you're an up and coming artist looking to record the next huge hit song, an established pro wanting a new, edgy sound or a film maker who needs the perfect score – Robert's aim is to take your project to the very highest level and to be an intrinsic part in helping you realize your vision.

CURRENT PROJECT

"In My Life"
Cory "City" Fandel "ft. Faith Hahn"
I've just begun working on Cory "City" Fandel's first CD. Cory is a hip hop artist from Hoboken, NJ and he's the real deal. I'm super stoked about his future. Together, he and I are going to put out some potent tracks and I predict that he's going to make a huge impact when his record drops later this year. We've just finished the first track entitled "In My Life." The song is about Cory's uncle, the legendary Marine, John Basilone, who was a WWII Medal of Honor recipient and American hero. The song features the wonderful singer, Faith Hahn. We want to thank Faith for giving us such a passionate performance on the track. We created this video as a way to introduce "In My Life" and honor Cory's uncle.



The Making of "Broken Waltz"
I recently produced a song for a young, new artist by the name of Patty Doyle. It was a lot of fun getting to work with her. Here is a video we shot of the song, Broken Waltz, after we had finished it. Patty has a bright future ahead of her. Talented writer, wonderful voice and all around cool girl.


Savannah is going to be a huge star and it's beyond exciting to be working with her. We did 3 songs together and here's one of them - "Dance With Me." Dance pop track with a Middle Eastern vibe to it. We can imagine a video done to this song with Savannah in a Cleopatra outfit, waking up after her centuries old sleep deep inside the pyramid. Dancing with the hunky Egyptian servants, she seduces the Pharaoh and returns to her rightful place on the throne. Then she slays the Pharaoh. Heh, they did that kind of stuff back then!

Turn it up loud and enjoy!
