‘Ria John Bob Walking To A Different Beat’ is a poignant human and memorable music business story about Ria John Bob’s 25 year journey through the music business. It gives a first-hand rare insight into the music business …“how it works and how it really is” .​

It is also about ‘When Sam Met Bob’. Bob discovered, now global popstar, Sam Smith in a musicals’ class. Sam had no professional experience and no creative or personal direction. Bob spotted their potential before anyone else, introduced them to their first label Venus & Mars Music and helped develop Sam into a pop star.

Sam recorded Ria John Bob songs for their first album ‘Sam Smith Diva Boy’​. Sam emerged from V&M’s journey… like a butterfly from a cocoon as an informed person, conceptual artist and burgeoning pop star.
