Personal life

Born in Singapore, Robin was the youngest of five siblings born to a family that was active in the British Army. Due to his father being posted in various locations throughout his childhood, Robin lived in Hong Kong, Singapore and Brunei during that time.[2]

During his schooling in Singapore, he was inspired by Jimi Hendrix and Deep Purple. In the mid-1980s while he studied at Humber College in Toronto, he formed his second band Tamang and performed in various places.

In 1996, he returned to Nepal to live in Pokhara at his father's place, and joined forces with a blues-rock band from Kathmandu, Looza and formed 'Robin n Looza'. Robin n Looza recorded three albums and after performing with them for several years, Looza eventually disbanded in 2005.[3][4]

After parting ways with Looza, Robin teamed up with another band, 'The New Revolution' to form Robin and The New Revolution. They continued making records and playing live until his demise.

Tamang was found dead at his residence in Budhanilkantha on 4 July 2023, at the age of 60.[5]
