Robert D.C. Emery was born on the 22 March 1983 in Walsall, West Midlands. His life was remarkably normal, until he started playing the piano at the age of seven on the family piano which had been passed down the generations. After listening to his favourite tunes on the Sunday night 'Top of the Pops', he would run to the piano and attempt to play them – amazingly, even without tuition he started playing these tunes quite well, so his parents asked a local teacher to work her magic.
