Robert Wells (composer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Henry Arthur Wells (born April 7, 1962 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Swedish composer, pianist and singer, best known for his highly acclaimed musical extravaganza Rhapsody in Rock, a mixture of rock, classical and boogie-woogie. A child prodigy, Wells attended the Adolf Fredrik Music School in Stockholm at the age of 7 in 1969 and four years later, at the age of 11, became the youngest person ever to attend the Royal Swedish Music Academy.
Wells was the musical director of two Swedish television shows. Wells appeared regularly on Så ska det låta, the Swedish version of The Lyrics Board.
Rhapsody in Rock was launched in 1989.
Wells' first musical tour was with the Leningrad Orchestra in 1991.
