About Rob Tardik

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. The first time hearing fusion music. I was a kid playing downstairs and came upstairs and saw my father watching an amazing guitarist just tearing up the instrument. Later as I developed, I found out it was fusion master Al Di Meola. Awesome moment! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Paco de Lucía, Friday Night in San Francisco Larry Carlton, The Very Best of Larry Carlton Van Halen, Van Halen Remastered Three of the most inspiring albums I have ever heard. Growing up as a musician I was amazed by these incredible players and masters of the instrument. I was very fortunate to see them all live in Toronto as well.
