Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond

Canadian songwriter, producer, arranger, keyboardist and synthesizer player Robbie Buchanan has played on a lot of records. Reading through his discography is like a journey through pop music since the 1980’s (Discogs has his contributions at just over 1100 individual recordings!!) . Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Dionne Warwick, and Julio Iglesias represent just a fraction of the artists he’s worked with over his five decades in the music business.

Robbie recently replaced a pair of vintage Telefunken 251s with a pair of Vanguard V13 gen2. (yes, I had the same reaction you’re having now.)

” I love the sonics. Super nice top end on the mic without being frail or thin… Very tasty colour and design, too!”

You can check Robbie’s work and book him for a session at robbiebuchanan.com. We also did a quick Q&A with Robbie about his career and advice for young musicians, which you can read here!
