His début LP Little Giant was released in Autumn 2014, with the leading single "Tiger Striped Sky" previously released on 23 June 2014. His follow-up album Paperweights came in 2016. His third album Quiet Man arrived in 2018, with a deluxe edition released in the following year. Panes plays a 12-string acoustic guitar. Introspective lyrics and a band of string-players contribute to a genre of classical folk music.

Background

Panes comes from a musical background, his grandmother was a classical pianist and his mother studied performing arts at Guildhall School of Music and Drama and then worked in theatre. His twin sister is a photographer and his older sister is an illustrator that has developed and designed the artwork for all of his albums.
Panes received the nickname 'Roo' after falling into a river as a child. It was also a homage to a Winnie-the-Pooh character who met a similar fate while playing a game called Poohsticks. He went to university and graduated with a degree in theology, and cites Jesus as an inspiration.
