Robert Bryndza was born in 1979 in Lowestoft, UK. He started writing at the age of 13, when his parents bought him a typewriter for Christmas. He studied acting at the Guilford School of Acting in London, but did not find a place in it later, so he tried his hand at writing a play called Branko & Branka. As it was a success at the Edinburgh Theatre Festival in 2007, he decided to pursue writing professionally.
