Meet Roy Best – 70s Music Writer, Groove Historian, and Soundtrack Philosopher
Roy Best doesn’t just write about the 70s—he lives it. As 70s Music Writer at Go Cybernaut, Roy brings rich knowledge, rhythm, and emotional context to the music that shaped a generation. From classic rock to funk, disco to folk, Roy knows how to find the heartbeat in the hook—and trace the story behind the sound.
His belief? That the 70s weren’t just a decade—they were a mood shift.
Roy Best brings the mellow glow of the 1970s to life with every piece he writes for Go Cybernaut. As the platform’s resident 70s Music Writer, Roy is a walking encyclopedia of bell bottoms, guitar riffs, and sun-soaked harmonies. His curated playlist, Seventies Sunshine, reflects his appreciation for warm grooves, soulful lyrics, and the golden-age optimism that shaped his musical roots.
Professionally, Roy is known for his calm and steady presence in editorial meetings. He’s a reliable collaborator—hardworking, unselfish, and always ready to help a teammate with a quick fact check or a deeper historical reference. His curiosity makes him a natural researcher, often chasing obscure stories behind forgotten B-sides or the cultural shifts that defined the disco, folk rock, and funk eras.
Roy maintains close ties with the Music Editor, Sam Grayson, offering insights and occasionally co-curating themed retrospectives. He also enjoys exchanging nostalgic ideas with Culture Editor Zoe Chen and collaborating with Graphic Artist Indigo Rae to bring visual life to his vintage-themed articles.
Grounded and real, Roy is the kind of person who listens more than he speaks—but when he does speak, people tune in. He doesn’t chase trends; he tunes into timelessness.
Roy’s origin story?
He grew up on record store conversations, cassette tape swaps, and late-night radio. What started as a passion for the perfect album side turned into a lifelong study of the people, politics, and production that shaped 70s sound. His writing hits like a perfectly timed guitar solo—tight, emotional, and unforgettable.
Roy brings intelligence and musical memory to every feature. He doesn’t just write about bands—he writes about what they meant, what they moved, and how their echoes still live in today’s playlists. His work blends commentary with soul, never just “remember when,” but “remember why.”
He sees 70s music as time travel for the heart.
Outside of his crate digging and liner note decoding, Roy is:
A believer in analog warmth and live takes
The one who gets real quiet when the bridge hits just right
Known to say, “They don’t layer vocals like that anymore”
Always finding the story behind the album artwork
Keeper of bootleg tapes and one-liner wisdom
One personal detail that sums him up:
Roy keeps a playlist titled “Played It Through Once. Needed to Sit Down.” It’s filled with songs that stopped him in his tracks—and still do.
Roy Best’s interests are as timeless as the music he writes about. When he’s not spinning vinyl from his vast record collection, he’s diving into history books or practicing martial arts as a way to stay centered and focused. A hands-on creator, Roy finds peace in building classic car models—a nod to his love for craftsmanship and nostalgia. His favorite pastime, though, is hitting the road with his Golden Retriever, Ivy, exploring backroads and small towns on mellow road trips that often spark the next story idea or playlist addition.
Signature catchphrase?
“Let it spin. It’ll teach you something.”
His north star?
“Honor the legacy. Feel the groove. Write it like it meant something—because it did.”
