Bobby Broom was born on January 18, 1961 in New York. Bobby was introduced to jazz at an early stage of life. He took up playing guitar shortly thereafter which resulted in playing in off-Broadway productions. He was invited to join a band at this early age but had to turn down the offer for his parents wanted him to graduate first. Bobby attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston. He returned to New York at the end of the seventies era where he started to work on the Cleansweep album which was released in 1981 and worked with great names like Dave Grusin and Tom Browne. A follow-up album was issued several years later entitled Livin' for the beat which featured the amazing Beat freak track.
