Robert Ledesma

Currently Robert is a solo Reggae artist and owns the record label Reggae Speaks which offers a variety of artist development & Pro Audio services. Robert Ledesma's music influences include Gregory Isaacs, Mikey Dread, The Cure, Roy Orbison, Los Apson and Los Dandy’s to name a few. He has performed at California Roots Festival, Reggae in the Hills, Queen Mary Shoreline and many prominent venues up and down California. Robert’s first solo album will drop in May of 2017; the album is named "Any Moment" as there are always good and bad things in life. And no matter how comfortable you get or how much "success" you have, things can change at any moment. There is a song named "Right Now" with a reference line which says "Life can change at any moment, trust in yourself and keep it open" referring to always keeping an open mind. The album is produced by Gary Larason whom Robert met via Instagram and was intrigued by his "older" sounding reggae instrumentals. They discussed their background and when Robert told him he wanted a Mikey Dread/Gregory Isaacs style sound and Gary knocked it out of the park. Overall, the album will not just have this message but a powerful reminder that we all go through love, lost friendships etc. and we are all the same at the end of the day.

Robert began his journey emerging from the musically diverse San Francisco Bay Area. In 2001, he founded a music label which offered recording and mixing services for over 30 albums in Oakland, California before expanding to Las Vegas, Nevada. He partnered with an International Greek DJ and they managed 9 major Las Vegas DJs. One of their biggest productions was a Tribute Album to the Boston Red Sox which featured 4 GRAMMY AWARD WINNERS including Samuelle (“Lean on Me”), Tiny & Ralph Tavares of the legendary Multi-Platinum & Gold supergroup, TAVARES, (“More Than A Woman”, “Heaven Must be Missing an Angel”, “She’s Gone”), and Tim Carter (Cedarhouse) along with other notable performing stars.

Since 2003, Robert was involved in the production of the first three Clear Conscience albums and in 2010 Robert Ledesma became part of the Bay Area based band as a vocalist which had several iTunes and Billboard top hits from 2003-2014.
