Early life

Robert Conley was born on March 13, 1973, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, United States. He grew up in Harrison, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, the eldest of three boys. When he was in the tenth grade, his father bought him an Ensoniq VFX SD II, and he began to create his own sequences and songs. [4] Conley graduated from William Henry Harrison High School in 1991 and briefly went to the University of Dayton before dropping out to make music. Conley moved to Chicago, Illinois, in 1992 and started an 'industrial' band called 'Darius Pogue' (the inspiration behind the 'dp' and 'dp13' aliases). [5] The band played shows in and around Chicago. He then moved to Phoenix in 1997, where he started an electronica band called 'Specificus' with Matt Kelly (aka K. Roxwell, aka MK Ultra), making music influenced by The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, Aphex Twin, and Squarepusher. [5]

Career

Conley and Kelly moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in engineering and programming in 1999. They both worked at the 'Tone King' recording studio, where the KISS-Alive III album was mixed. [5] While working on the KISS album, the studio was visited by producer Walter Afanasieff and songwriter Robi 'Draco' Rosa, who were working on some new music for Ricky Martin. Conley's boss gave him the job of being a programmer and engineer for Afanasieff and Rosa for the day. Afanasieff was so impressed with Conley that he hired him on the spot and moved him to San Rafael, CA, to work in his world-class recording studio, 'Wally World'. Ricky Martin's She Bangs was the first song they worked on together. [5]

During his time with Afanasieff, Robert Conley worked with many artists, one of whom was Darren Hayes. After working on the Spin album together, Hayes invited Conley's band 'Specificus' to support him on his Too Close for Comfort world tour. [5] Upon returning from the tour, Conley and Hayes got together in San Francisco to work on Hayes' second solo album, The Tension and the Spark. The album was mixed by Mark Stent, and when it was completed, Conley and Hayes moved to the UK to promote the album, which was well received. [5] After 18 months in the UK, Robert Conley returned to the US, moving to Phoenix, Arizona. While here, he reconnected with Matt Kelly and worked on some new tracks for 'Specificus'. He also teamed up with Australian songwriter and producer Vince Pizzinga to form another electronica duo, which they named The Beautiful Left. [6] Conley also started on some new tracks, which would become the central theme to Darren Hayes' album This Delicate Thing We've Made. [6]

In May 2007, Conley signed with Sony/ATV Music Publishing in Australia and moved to Sydney. He has worked as songwriter and producer for several up-and-coming Australian acts, including Axle Whitehead.

<i>We Are Smug</i> (album) 2009 studio album by Darren Hayes and Robert Conley

We Are Smug is a collaborative studio album recorded by Australian singer-songwriter Darren Hayes and producer and songwriter Robert Conley under the pseudonym We Are Smug. Originally intended as an anonymous secret side project for Hayes to experiment with new sounds, the album was given away for free for a limited period via digital download as a gift to fans on Hayes' birthday on 8 May 2009 but all free links have since been removed. Hayes has recently said he intends to commercially release the album with a bonus song at some point in the future. The album is an eclectic and experimental vehicle where Hayes adopted various personas and experimented with vocal delivery and genre in a way he had never done as a mainstream artist. It is unique as a recording because Hayes shares vocal duties with Conley, sometimes swapping out the lead for backing vocals. Hayes takes the lead on about half the album at varying times changing his voice, alternating between a high falsetto, a lower raspy tone, experimenting with hip hop and Beach Boys styled harmonies.
