A true citizen of the world - born in Malta and raised in various disparate locales such as Arabia, Brunei, and England,  Kristian Robinson channels his respect for and experience with different musical traditions into the creation of a unique hybrid of  lo-fi rock, electronica, and pop under the moniker of Capitol K. With everything from Chinese pop to the marching band music of the  United Arab Emirates in his early musical vocabulary, the influence of  punk, new wave, grunge and Japanese noisecore would collide to create an interestingly new music. Eventually settling in London because of the creative climate and opportunities available to him for exploring his musical muse, Robinson was soon making four-track sound collages and passing tapes of his music around town, one of which fell into the hands of Mike Paradinas of Planet Mu. His studio experimentation gave birth to his debut, Sounds of the Empire, a largely electronic, critically-acclaimed album built upon a heady balance of samples and live sources that placed Capitol K at the forefront of the U.K.'s electronic scene. The follow-up, 2002's Island Row took inspiration from the musical conceptualization of people and places from Robinson's past, as he sampled sounds from his childhood for another layer in his complex arrangements. Robinson has also gained a reputation for being a captivating live performer, recreating the sprawl of his albums with a mix of live and sampled sources - performing internationally at various venues and festivals, including Sonar (Barcelona), Pompidou Centre (Paris), Autumn Tiger Festival (Taiwan) and Institute of Contemporary Arts (London). The expansion of the live element into a four-piece band, led to the third album 'Happy Happy', a blend of live band and electronic studio tracks - this time all concise and vocal arrangements - an off-the-wall pop album released worldwide through Kristian's own independent label 'Faith & Industry'. The label's previous releases include Patrick Wolf's 'Lycanthropy', which has a  sound that owes a great deal to some years spent in the Capitol K studio. Capitol K continues to live/work, produce and collaborate in East London. A fourth album is in final stages and he performs concerts worldwide.
