September Drum Roll: Robert Shin

Robert Shin ( December19, 1989) ,as one third of hard rock/ pop band VARNA, has brought a powerhouse backbone to their latest release, This Time, It's Personal. Aside from the critically acclaimed DIY band appearing on VANS Warped Tour 2014 and recent sponsorship deal with Cold Cocky Whiskey, Rob has always had an intent to be a drummer, beginning with a trip to the principals office after taping out beats on his desk in elementary school.
    Robert was raised in the Los Angeles suburbs of Simi
                                                                               Valley and survuved a turbulent childhood through the
                                                                               power of music. "I've learned to look at pain and welcome it 
                                                                               instead of avoiding it. As pain leaves your body, guess what
                                                                               replaces it: SUCCESS. Lets get something out of it.I fell in
                                                                               love with drumming and the sound of it. I was in love."
                                                                                    He continued his musical education in PIT program
                                                                               Musician's Institute in Hollywood. Here he played in various
                                                                               bands until answering an ad to join VARNA(formerly known
                                                                               as Living Eulogy) in October 2012. Rob has carved out a
                                                                               place for himself among rock's newest up and coming
                                                                               drummers. 
                                                                               Influences include: Harvey Mason and Joey Jordinson
