Robert Norton
"Robert Norton is an inspired musician. He touches something honest, hopeful and true in you. His music is healing." says Dr Robert Holden, leading psychologist and author of 'Happiness Now' and 'Success Intelligence' who wrote these books while listening to the albums 'Painting the Ocean' and 'Be Yourself' by Robert Norton. "I have expressed my deepest hopes, dreams and fears through my music, often being amazed and surprised at the results", says Robert Norton. Although he was classically trained, his yearning to express his truest feelings broke through when, in 1970, at the age of nine, he began to improvise. Since then his piano playing has taken him, and many others, on deeply emotional and spiritual journeys. Robert's music is all heart and soul.
