A Nonprofit Cabaret Venue


Ladies and gentlemen, meet Robert Kemp—a musical polymath with a heart as big as his baritone range. A Manhattanite with a penchant for reinvention, Robert has been exploring melodies since the age of twelve, dabbling in an orchestra of instruments from piano to violin, guitar to trombone, and now his most whimsical muse, the ukulele.

Self-taught and fiercely passionate, Robert’s voice—rich, warm, and undeniably magnetic—effortlessly traverses genres, belting out R&B, indie folk, neo-soul, and even nostalgic doo-wop. His inspirations? Legends like John Legend, Hozier, John Coltrane, and Boyz II Men. Whether he’s crooning a soulful ballad or strumming a feel-good anthem, Robert transforms every performance into an intimate celebration of sound and soul.
