How the band members of Rascal met

 

Rascal is a duo act (currently also performing as a band) from The Hague, The Netherlands.

This duo called themselves King’s Recipe at first, but changed the name to Rascal.

 

The two founding members Mr. Martin & Robby C. met each other when Robby C. responded to a job vacancy posted by studio owner Mr. Martin, who at the time was in search for an engineer. Robby C. walked

in The WTC building in The Hague,

where the job interview was about to take place and got the job.

He started working at Mr. Martin’s studio, they found out that they both play

guitar and write songs.

Within two months they had their first live performance on stage at the anti slavery festival.

The origins of Robby C.

 

Robby C. grew up in Leiden and later

moved to the beach town of Noordwijk.

When he was 19 years old he had the

chance to perform alongside his father

on a 12-string guitar.

He considers this experience as his first live performance on stage.

He was influenced by Rock‘n Roll 60’s music from bands such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and 90’s Rock/Grunge bands

like Foo Fighters, Nirvana and Queens of the Stone Age.

The origins of Mr. Martin

 

Mr Martin grew up in Zoetermeer and still lives in this small city close to The Hague.

He started performing live on stage when

he was only five years old.

His brothers Andrew and Michel,

who are also guitar players,

gave Mr. Martin the chance to be on stage.

Coming from a musically orientated family, he recalls always being surrounded by music instruments especially guitars.

Mr. Martin noted Robbie Williams as his big inspiration.

Genres like Hip-Hop, R&B and later Pop Rock brought Mr. Martin more into the music scene.

Future developments of Rascal

 

Performing with Rascal has become part

of their life and they can’t imagine living without it anymore.

To have the audience singing along during gigs are moments where they get energized and feel that their performance starts to

get better.

Rascal was also part of last year’s The Yellow Acoustic Tour.

This tour featured four singer/songwriters that performed in The Netherlands.

 

Rascal is also currently performing live at festivals and concerts as a band and on

other occasions as a duo act.

Rascal is currently working on their first EP, which is set to be released in the summer

of 2018.

The title of the EP will be “From The Start”.

Rascal will also be releasing their first video clip of their single “I Will Never Leave”, which is available on iTunes, Deezer, Spotify

and other streaming services sites.
