ON THE RISE

Robbie Kraemer

Stats: Robbie is a 16-year-old junior at San Luis Obispo High School.

Sports: You can find him mountain biking Shooters or rock climbing at SLO Op.

Clubs: Robbie felt like something was missing, so he re-started the Bike Club on campus.

Interests: Never idle, Robbie spends his free time playing the guitar, piano and singing.

Noteworthy: Music and creativity reign supreme for Robbie and he proved it by composing the incidental and accompaniment for the school play.

Inspiration: Every mom would want to hear what Robbie has to say, “My mother is the largest influence in my life. She’s always supported me, and I’ve always been able to look up to her and how strong she has been through some of the hardest times in life.”

Historical figure he’d like to meet: Robbie fell in love with the music of Ray Charles the first time he heard it. Since then, Charles has been one of the greatest influences in his music and definitely tops the list of who Robbie wishes he could meet, if only he had a time machine.

College aspirations: An AA degree from Cuesta College is first in order for Robbie, followed by a transfer to Berklee College of Music. That said, he wouldn’t pass up the chance to go on tour, or work for a major record label, and plans to keep his options open.

Future prediction: In ten years, Robbie sees himself either on tour as a headlining musician, or working as a music producer inside a studio.

His fondest memory: Making the planter boxes on his driveway with his mom and dad for Pacheco Elementary School.

SLO LIFE

That’s right, the rumors are true!

Dr. Daniel’s orthodontic practice has relocated just around the corner from SLO High School at 1356 Marsh Street.

Although it’s a new address, they are still providing the same excellent care as they have for years.
