Roye robley

Producer, Percussionist, Educator

Roye Robley is a producer, engineer, percussionist, and instructor from Hammond, Indiana. He is the former studio and touring drummer for international recording and touring act Like A Storm. Roye also performs with several Chicago-area based bands, including Echoes of Pompeii, a nationally recognized Pink Floyd tribute act, and frequently plays percussion for musicals in the area. Roye has compiled an impressive performance resume--supporting acts such as Three Days Grace, Creed, Saving Abel, Mayday Parade, and Hawthorne Heights--across North America.

Roye’s resume has grown steadily since his first production project in 2014. He has engineered and performed on several chart topping singles ("Break Free," "Love The Way You Hate Me," "Wish You Hell" by Like A Storm) and worked with the likes of Belmont, Meet Me @ The Altar, Rare Candy, and City Mouth. He's also kept busy with a slew of amazing local artists (Stop Drop Rewind, Detour North, and Cleveland Avenue). Roye shuns the "in-and-out" mindset of commercial studios and instead focuses on developing the artists and their songs. His main goal is providing an excellent product at an unbeatable value.

TESTIMONIALS

Roye Robley is the clear choice in providing the most personal, professional, and positive recording experience within a reasonable budget. His knowledge of his craft is unparalleled and his final product is always killer. - Sam Patt (Belmont)

Working with Roye is like picking up a thousand piece puzzle, whipping it at the floor, and it landing on the floor already halfway finished. Then coming back to work on it the next day, and it being put together already, then spending that time picking out a frame and admiring our masterpiece. Working with Roye is effortless and organic to put it simply. I could come to the table with everything planned or completely clueless and as soon as we get cranking, magic is made. We both understand each others habits, styles, and tendencies, as well as bounce ideas off one another. They say working with a friend never goes well, but it hardly feels lie work when you enjoy it as much as I do. - Alex Wieringa (Rare Candy and Belmont)

Working with Roye proved to be a great experience for us. He was patient, persistent, and contributed to our songwriting seamlessly. His craftsmanship is not to be disputed. Every session spent with Roye was a time of unmatched productivity. Our time in the studio was made both productive and enjoyable. The recording experience was exactly what we were looking for, what anyone is looking for. - Charley Rasmussen (Good Enough)

We just finished our third album with Roye, so suffice to say we're happy with the product we get from him. But more than that, we enjoy the process of working with him. Roye is patient, knowledgable, creative, handsome, and constructive in his criticisms, and he has a candle in his studio so it never gets too smelly. He may not have a fancy robot or a standing desk, but he has a deep understanding of both recording and songwriting, which makes him pretty much the ideal producer. Our songs are better because of his input, which we were happy to get from him in all phases of production, from songwriting to completion. Plus, he's easy on the eyes. We will gladly continue working with him for as long as he'll have us, or until he gets a couple top 40 hits on his resume and we can't afford him anymore. - DJ Crenson (Stop.Drop.Rewind)
