Chasing Deer is the energetic, pop/rock band, led by the powerful vocal of songwriter Rob Hodkinson.
Likened to Elton John, Rick Astley & Hozier, the band have racked up over 1,500 non-stop performances around the world, including The Royal Albert Hall, Houses Of Parliament, NME Awards, and singing in Swahili to President Uhuru Kenyatta in Kenya.
Their pioneering approach to Sign Language accessibility in music has attracted the attention of UK national TV, newspapers and radio (Sky News, BBC 2 & London Live, The Metro, BBC World and BBC R2).

After the COVID-19 pandemic hit, singer Rob launched a weekly live stream, "Chasing Deer on demand", which airs every Wednesday 8 PM on Facebook. Rob has been busking on the streets of the UK for over 200 days, reuniting people with live music until normality resumes!
