He graduated to guitar when he was five, followed by drums, bass, and piano, and singing in his school chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;When I was little, I would take a record and try to learn the bass part or the guitar part, then the next day try to learn the drum part and piano part,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Then I&#8217;d sing it and I&#8217;d be able to record it in my own.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there&#8217;s anything he&#8217;s learned since picking up that ukulele 25 years ago, it&#8217;s that there&#8217;s always something to prove, whether it&#8217;s in the studio or on stage. As&nbsp;<strong>Robin<\/strong>&nbsp;readily acknowledges. &#8220;The one thing I know is this is exactly what I want to be doing \u2014 and what I&#8217;ve always wanted to be doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Confidential Records NYC<\/strong>&nbsp;is the record label of legendary producer&nbsp;<strong>Jack Douglas<\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong>JOHN LENNON<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>AEROSMITH<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>CHEAP TRICK<\/strong>).&nbsp;<strong>Jack<\/strong>&nbsp;has had the honor of producing five bands inducted into the&nbsp;<strong>Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robin Taylor Zander\u00a0(photo by Jay Gilbert www.jaygilbert.net) \u2014 a touring member of\u00a0CHEAP TRICK\u00a0and son of\u00a0CHEAP TRICK&#8216;s legendary frontman\u00a0Robin Wayne Zander\u00a0\u2014 has shared his airy, sentimental new single\u00a0&#8220;All She Wrote&#8221;. &#8220;The song\u00a0&#8216;All She Wrote&#8221;\u00a0reflects on the struggle of communication while also acknowledging that sometimes, no amount of sincerity can bridge the gap between one another,&#8221;\u00a0Robin Taylor&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/?p=15060\" rel=\"bookmark\">Read More &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">CHEAP TRICK&#8217;s ROBIN TAYLOR ZANDER Shares New Single &#8216;All She Wrote&#8217;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15060"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15060\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15062,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15060\/revisions\/15062"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
