After decades of balancing family, career, and artistic pursuits he is finally realizing his lifelong dream with his band, Hekate’s Torch.
Robert's musical journey began at the age of nine, playing saxophone in his school jazz band for eight years. This early experience fueled his love for music, but the call of rock proved irresistible.
At 17, he picked up the guitar and joined the band White Knight, playing originals and covers, until his band mates went their separate ways.
​
For seven years, he worked as a DJ for C-Pan Entertainment, learning about sound engineering. When the company closed, he seized the opportunity and started his own recording studio, inviting musicians to practice and record, leading to the formation of the band “Available in Cream.” However, his musical endeavors were put on hold when he became a single parent, dedicating his time to raising his children.
​
During this time, Robert channeled his creativity into poetry, publishing his book, "Emotional Undercurrents," and participating in poetry slams in Victoria. Yet, the dream of a band lingered.
​
Now, with his children grown, Robert has returned to his passion, forming Hekate’s Torch with his wife, Femmy Heqet.
​
​
"This is a dream come true," says Robert. "It's been a long road, but I'm grateful for every experience that has led me here. With Hekate's Torch, I'm finally able to share my music with the world."
​
He has been an active poet and musician for many years, and is also a High Priest and co-founder of the Creatrix Magick Tradition, a Hekatean Coven in Victoria, BC, Canada, and the international community Warrior Witches.
