Background:
Robert Mason was born in Suffolk, England. He studied music theory and learned to play the trumpet, drums and guitar while also continuing to develop his voice. He played with Rock, Jazz and Choral ensembles. He left school and continued with the Medway Dance Orchestra, a big band playing Glenn Miller style arrangements.

He studied English Literature and History at Medway in Kent. In the early 1970’s he travelled and played throughout the USA, Canada and Europe. In the mid 70’s he was lead guitarist with a Band called "Ace of Clubs". Changing career, he he got an Honours Degree in Developmental Psychology from the University of Sussex and trained as a Post Graduate in Clinical Psychology at St. Francis Hospital and Collwood School in Haywards Heath, Sussex. He then moved to Florida in the USA to lecture.

Upon first moving to the USA he taught guitar lessons and sold instruments at the Broward Music Center in Fort Lauderdale. Unable to get a band organized he began looking for solo opportunities and developed a two handed playing style based on the technique of his mentor Michael Bianco. His first CD, released in the summer of 2005 is Angelic Mythology, a collection of original songs that echo both Classic Rock and New Age themes.

..In addition to his musical interests Robert Mason is the Founder and Shihan (Chief Instructor) for MuDoKai Martial Arts and Commissioner for the International Sport Karate Association (ISKA) the world-wide governing body for kickboxing...so don't see you don't like his playing ;o)
