Fleischman, Robert

Since Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, the hard rock capital of the world, Robert Fleischman has enjoyed tremendous success as a vocalist, songwriter and performer during his career. Robert exploded onto the booming California music scene in the late 1970’s when he joined a then unknown San Francisco band, looking to make the transformation from rock-fusion to a more radio friendly, commercial rock sound. This band, Journey, would go on to become one of the most successful rock bands in the history of music. Robert wrote and performed with Journey for nine months, but when vocalist Steve Perry was brought in, Journey would never look back, continuing the AOR sound that Fleischman was anyway instrumental in helping the band establish. With the platinum success of Journey’s “Infinity” album on which Robert’s songs were prominently featured, the name Robert Fleischman quickly became synonymous with hit songwriting. Robert signed a deal with Arista Records and recorded a solo album, “Perfect Stranger” (1979) which included former Journey band mates Neal Schon and Gregg Rolie. A successful solo tour would follow the release of the album, including shows with Van Halen, Eddie Money, Boston and Sammy Hagar. In the early 1980’s, Robert formed the explosive melodic rock band, Channel. The band was signed to Epic Records and they released their self-titled debut in 1984 to great critical success. Channel, however, was short lived because of a new opportunity that would soon be calling for Robert. Robert later joined Vinnie Vincent (ex KISS) and fellow band members Dana Strum and Bobby Rock to record “Vinnie Vincent Invasion” (Chrysalis) in 1986. The record featured Robert’s piercing vocals and Vincent’s wicked guitar playing and included the hit single “Boyz Are Gonna Rock”. Over the next decade, Robert would greatly expand his involvement in the music industry. Featured as a staff songwriter for the prestigious Almo Irving Publishing, Robert played an integral part in some of the decade’s top hits. Robert would also begin a career as a composer, writing musical score for feature film and television projects until he met music agent and manager Michael S. Robinson while pursuing a film-scoring project. A big fan of Robert’s work, both as a composer and a singer/songwriter, the two quickly become friends and began a mission together. This mission was to thrust Robert’s long-silenced voice back into the AOR spotlight. “World In Your Eyes” delivers a dynamic, traditional AOR sound that Robert’s fans have come to expect, with an updated edge that propels Robert’s songs into the new Millennium. Among the songs “Over My Head” was penned by none other than Canadian hitmaker Bryan Adams. “World In Your Eyes” features both as a performer and songwriter The Storm/Two Fires/Hardline guitarist Josh Ramos, as well as Heaven & Earth members Richie Onori on drums and Marvin Sperling on bass plus Edward Roth on keyboards. Production duties, some guitars, keyboards and background vocals have been supplied by Kelly Hansen (Hurricane).
