Born in Brooklyn and raised in the burbs of New York City, Starr comes from a musical family intent on him not being a musician. Pushing him to be an engineer and eventually getting a PhD, Starr persisted with his music and has now released a couple of blues albums. He claims his schooling was a struggle because of all the time spent practicing and playing music, but he made a career in the business world before moving to Mississippi for work in 2015. This inspired him to write and play blues music.

Starr began with a love for Southern Rock. He grew up with Jazz, R&B, Rock, Pop, 50’s Doo Wop, Gospel, and Blues NS played saxophone from fourth grade all the way through high school and played in a variety of bands in school. His earlier bands Fallen Angel and the Bobby Starr Band. focused on the rock and Christian music side of things before he released Unfinished Bizzness in 2017, his first blues album. We have this CD two years later which follows his 2018 self-titled Gospel release, expressing his love for the blues that developed from his Mississippi transplant and early influences.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, on March 16, 1961, Robert James Starr comes from a musical family. By making his career in music Starr is following the family tradition dating back to his grandparents who were professional jazz musicians. The Blues-Rock guitarist, songwriter, and singer says he has always been drawn to delta blues such as Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, but also more contemporary players like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Joe Bonamassa, and BB King and it shows in his music. His style is a hard-driving electric blues with a southern country-Gospel flair.

Many people may be familiar with Starr’s earlier Rock and Contemporary Christian work with Fallen Angel and the Bobby Starr Band. RJS plays electric blues and soul. He is known for his fierce and intense electric guitar, raw vocals, and gripping on-stage charisma which captivates his audiences. His string-bending guitar style is reminiscent of Freddie King or Robert Cray, and his strong, clear vocals really pack a punch. The material on his new album entitled “Unfinished Bizzness” is fresh and original, as Starr wrote nine of the songs on the album.

Interested in music from childhood, he made his first record when he was only eighteen. This led to a US tour with a strong troupe of musicians, but fame can be fleeting in the music industry, and his success was intermittent. Starr retreated into the 8 to 5 work world becoming a successful engineer, business owner, and corporate executive while remaining steady in his musical endeavors. He continued to perform limited engagements around the country including Arizona, Las Vegas, Florida, and Mississippi. He would release numerous albums and singles in the country, rock, and Christian veins. RJ’s latest release entitled "Unfinished Bizzness" has brought him back into the spotlight only 38 years after his first single.
