About Rob Cantor
Rob Cantor is a singer/songwriter from the Detroit area, based in Los Angeles. Known for his role as the yellow-tied guitarist and singer for quirky indie rock band Tally Hall, Cantor also releases music under his own name. In 2012, his song "Shia LaBeouf" went viral online, spawning many memes and animations. In March 2014, he announced his first solo album, "NOT A TRAMPOLINE." It was released on April 14, 2014, preceded by the single "Ghost" and the music videos for "Old Bike" and "All I Need Is You." The album featured contributions from fellow Tally Hall members Andrew Horowitz, Ross Federman, and Bora Karaca, as well as Madi Diaz and Jhameel. In July 2014, Cantor released a music video for the song "Perfect," in which he sang the song while demonstrating 28 impossibly accurate celebrity impressions. The video went viral and racked up millions of views in one week before being revealed to have been a hoax, the voices pre-recorded by professional impressionists and lip-synced by Cantor. In October 2014, Cantor uploaded a music video for his previous viral hit "Shia LaBeouf," an extravagant extended stage performance of the song featuring an orchestra, choir, dancers, and acrobats-- as well as a surprise cameo from Shia LaBeouf himself.
