Rob Fillo

October 22nd, 2025

Amid the solitude of Vancouver Island’s forests during the pandemic, singer-songwriter Rob Fillo found his voice in a new form — prose. His debut memoir, Singing with the Trees (self-published $19.99), chronicles a creative and spiritual awakening inspired by isolation, music and the natural world. With humour, lyrical insight and emotional honesty, Fillo reflects on grief, resilience and rediscovering purpose through art. A Victoria-based musician and multimedia artist, his performances blend folk, blues and orchestral pop, transforming stages into spaces of shared healing. 9798306571607
