Robin Guthrie (born January 4, 1962 in Grangemouth, Scotland) is a co-founder of Cocteau Twins, and is one of the principal songwriters and musicians. Robin’s unique style of guitar-playing and songwriting — not to mention his deft production skills in the recording studio — have earned him the respect of musicians throughout the world.

Working at first with Will Heggie and, since, with Simon Raymonde, Robin has played guitar, bass, keyboards, drums and other instruments over the years, plus programming, sampling and sound processing.

Robin originally set-up the record label bella union with Simon and he now works and lives in France with his wife, Florence, and their two children. He is also the proud father of Lucy Belle, his daughter with Elizabeth Fraser.

In addition to his work as a producer (Lush) and engineer, Robin’s latest musical collaboration is Violet Indiana, with singer Siobhan de Maré. Robin’s first solo record, Imperial, was released in March 2003 by Bella Union.

As much as I love his work, I wish he'd do some more up-tempo songs like his circa 1990 Cocteau Twins work. Even without Liz's voice, I'm sure he could come up with some luscious harmonies.

hes step by step trying to make everyone sound like the cocteau twins -- I am SO down with this plan. NEVER REST UNTIL EVERYONE HAS HEARD THAT SOUND, ROBIN. You owned Ulrich Schnauss on his own EP, now pick one of these American newgazer bands and show them who's boss, as well. GUTHRIE FOR PRESIDENT.

Robin Guthrie is without a doubt the greatest influence on my life, period. His music has inspired me immensely. It was a great pleasure interviewing him in 1995 for an article I was doing on Milk & Kisses. Since then I only hope that someday I can say hey in person, tho I wouldn't want to come across as another obessed fan. He's recorded with my friend Ulrich Schnauss -- another god artist hero
