ABOUT
Robert Burr, Jr.
Founder, Lead Singer, Songwriter, Lead Guitarist, Producer
​
Growing up in a house full of Caribbean rhythms and soulful Motown grooves, Rob grew up emulating the greats of reggae and R&B, which would eventually be the catalyst to the formation of Propaganjah in 2016. With his family hailing from St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and his upbringing in Ocala, Florida, Rob would grow up and find his own unique sound in reggae music. Influenced by the likes of Reggae, Rock, Metal, R&B, Soca, Hip-Hop, and Calypso, he began singing at a very young age. His love of singing soulful music drove him to pick up and learn the guitar at 16 years old to accompany his vocals. He began writing music within a few months of learning how to play guitar and figured out that was his calling. He believes in uplifting people and empowering people with the strength of their minds within his lyrics.
