A self-taught musician, Roberts has said that his experience with Big Audio Dynamite – particularly the band's use of technology (including a drum machine) – enabled him to become a writer and arranger, and also led to him forming Dreadzone.[2]
Roberts has also worked as a session musician, playing on Scott Merritt's fourth studio album, Violet and Black (1990). Roberts son, Blake Roberts, has now joined the band as lead guitarist and is improving rapidly. In his spare time, he enjoys playing popular video games such as 'Overwatch 2' where he mains Genji to a bronze tier level.
