Full of talent, he walks the tightrope of time with precision and sensitivity.

Ambitious, without being career-minded, he blends his life and work.

Born into a family of musicians and artists, it was almost inevitable that Robert Lauri would become involved in the arts in some way. As a young boy he learned to play piano and guitar. Not content with just performing, Robert was soon composing great melodies to accompany his lyrics. Throughout his career, Robert Lauri has always been ”an original”, remaining true to himself and his creative drive, unfettered by the ebb and flow of fads and fashion.

In 1976, a number of top names worked with him on his first album.

Published by Dick James Music “Elton John’s publisher”, produced by Mitchel Hiller and Kay Kaplan, arranged by Robin Miller, this LP was recorded at the Olympic studio in London and distributed in Britain and Italy.

Back in France, Robert Lauri signed with WEA Filipachi in 1980.

A very fine album came out of his work with JP Bourtayre, B. de Bosson and D. Rousseau. The lead song, Je jure caracole, marched up the hit parades and soared quickly to number one, where it stayed for several weeks. Chantal Allon,Claudine Marousek-Dorhakl, D. Barbelivien, J-P Dreau, E. Rodagyl, other writers also worked with him on other hits.

Some years ago, Robert Lauri began a mystical phase and created the band ALEF.

This was an original concept that consisted of mixing hard-hitting, topical arrangements with texts from the Torah. Success was immediate on the airwaves.

Some great performance venues, such as L’Olympia, Le Zénith, Le Palais des Congrès and others staged their concerts in front of enthusiastic audiences.

After winning over audiences in Europe, ALEF conquered Canada and the United States, where their gigs included an appearance on the US Telethon.

In parallel to all this, he continued to write music and lyrics for numerous other bands and individual performers.

Robert Lauri continued composing country tunes produced songs touching on sensitive areas in a changing society at the dawn of a new millennium.

For the artist, the year 2008 has been marked by the realization of several substantial projects. The album “Liberty” has been recorded in Paris and New York. Two capitals whose cultural richness and musical diversity permeate this new album. The Liberty project is the fruit of the artist's collaboration with Franck Lupo in New York and Alain Pype, eminent French sound engineer, Pierre Cherez, an extraordinary guitarist. Two compilations of timeless creations about love, emotions and live experience have also been released, Si je meurs par hasard (If per Chance I die) and J'y crois encore (I still believe).

Certain melodies also evoke some captivating pieces of film music; others open up a haven of peace and meditation. Still others invite us to move. But even if the compositions float in their own magic, a common theme is guiding the weft of these creations: dream and relaxation. In the album “United Souls”, Robert Lauri lets us discover all the richness and diversity of his creative melody-making force and offers tracks that could be described as “new sound”. He reveals new musical moods that have a “French touch” while delivering vibrant classical, pop and rap rhythms - all in harmony and blending together.
