His obvious talent for moving and grooving the crowd was soon noticed and mid-1973 he was approached to join the in-house staff of a newly-opened club on Stanley St. called The Limelight where he remained as their principal deejay from 1973 to 1981.
In 1977 also Robert went on to win Billboard Magazine's Best Canadian DJ Award. Similarly he received Gold records for introducing his public to such artists as Boney M, Donna Summer, Musique and Gino Soccio to name but a few, plus a special commemorative plaque/mirror from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
In 1993 he went on to win a Juno Award with his partner, Miguel Graça, for Best Dance Song: Thankful performed by the Red Light group. During the late 90's, with some friends Robert founded a vinyl records dance distribution outfit called Nice Music that is still in existence today.
