Picture
​Joe Louis Robinson is a music director, composer and creative, active in the fields of live performance and digital storytelling. He trained at Royal Holloway, University of London and is now based in Perth, Western Australia. His work ranges from traditional musical theatre, cabaret and productions to drag, performance art and digital media. He is regularly engaged as a conductor, vocal director, keyboardist and orchestrator, for a variety of projects and companies. 

Joe is co-founder of VESSEL Perth, a pop-up events company specialising in cabaret and fringe theatre in found spaces.
