Robe Lights Nicole Scherzinger European Shows

The recent sold out UK and European shows by dynamic US singer / songwriter, Nicole Scherzinger, featured a lighting design by Scott Warner, who took a selection of the latest Robe technology on the road to all six high profile gigs.

The performances follow up Scherzinger's chart-topping first solo album, Killer Love in an entertaining, high-energy performance, showcasing her singing and dancing talents and very accessible personality.

With a stripped back stage and minimal set design and with no video or production rehearsal time it was a challenge. Warner enjoys working with such challenging parameters, "There was a lot of pressure on lighting for these shows, but when that happens, it certainly tests your imagination and skills as an LD," he says with a large smile.

He first worked with Scherzinger on the Pussycat Dolls, whom he lit for seven years before being asked to light her solo work. He has used Robe products consistently for the last five years on several major acts including Pussycat Dolls, Goo Goo Dolls, David Cook / Gavin McGraw, and others.

Warner chose all the latest Robe fixtures, specifying 12 Robin 600 LEDWashes, six Robin MMX Spots, four Robin 300 LEDWashes, and four Robin 600 SmartWhites, all supplied by RM Lighting, together with Warner's grandMA light console. At each of the six shows -- which included London's Hammersmith Apollo -- he hooked into overhead rigs supplied by the local promoter.
