Robert M. Beki was born on October 11, 2000, in Sindelfingen, Germany, to a Croatian mother and a German-born Croat father with Hungarian ancestry.

While living in Betra, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, he got a lot of musical instruments for kids as birthday and Christmas presents, but he also loved to sing and make mouth sounds from a young age.

In 2003, he became a brother to his new-born sister, Vanessa.

Together, they went into an evangelical-Catholic kindergarten, both unbaptized.

Robert took on a lot of roles in kindergarten plays and especially loved to take the lead ones.

After kindergarten, he enrolled in elementary school in Empfingen and also took martial arts karate lessons in Betra.

Where he got his yellow belt.

He recalls: "I had a lot of good friends in Germany; some I stayed close with, others I miss dearly".

In 2009, his family, consisting of his parents and younger sister, decided to move back to Croatia.

His school transfer was tough.

Throughout elementary school, he suffered from dyslexia and dyscalculia.

Due to his native German language, in which two-digit numbers are spelled in reverse order, and general problems with Croatian grammar.

He also has trouble saying the letter "r" in Croatian, but not in other languages (rhotacism), for which he was often bullied to great lengths.

Which made public speaking a very nauseous experience.

He took this very seriously and started reading huge amounts of books, and he was nominated as "reader of the year in Hercegovac" during the late 2010s, undocumented on the internet at the time.

Robert Still pursued playing music during this era, mainly the Croatian folk instrument called "bisernica" (pearl shell), which is a little tamburitza.

He was joined into Croatian folk groups by his mother, as she danced there for a while.

Robert and his sister went to the Croatian Karate Alliance training school as well.

He won a few gold and silver medals in combat and kata performances.

He earned a purple belt, but had to stop his training due to a foot injury in which he almost lost a toe.

Soon after, in 2012, he started playing an classical nylon guitar and took a month's worth of private lessons, which he dropped as soon as he learned to play a few basic chord shapes.

The same year he was involved in an accident where he was brutally attacked by a newly owned dog.

The attack took place in his family yard.

A few bites to the skull which caused vast amounts of neurological damage, that did not seem of any concern at that time, but scarred him for life.

The following years he continued playing guitar at home and slowly became self taught in various areas of music theory via old comedy sketches of Otto Waalkes on YouTube, also listening to a lot of 60's, 70's and 80's artists he already liked since his life in Germany.

Film score music plays a huge role in his thinking about theory as he watched a lot of movies with a guitar in his hands.

In 2015, he enrolled in the School of Applied Arts in Rijeka, Croatia.

Scoring third place during enrollment.

A few years earlier in 2016 he by accident met his soulmate girlfriend, lifelong partner and friend Martina Muhvić.

Their relationship started of rough but soon started to bloom in creativeness, as they moved in together after a 3 years long period of their long-distance relationship.

In 2018.

he sung in his school's singing group and got noticed by his music teacher for having a four octave range from F2 to F5.

She told him to bring his guitar to school after getting to know him better and Robert played and sung the bass parts of the songs they've performed.

He graduated in 2019 and therefore became an industrial designer by profession.

During this time alone living in a dorm he wrote around a hundred and fifty plus songs, which he planed on performing and recording, but didn't know how or where.

In 2019, he enrolled in MPA, Music Production Academy in Zagreb to become a professional music producer.
