In Catatonia, Roberts shared main songwriting duties with Matthews, whilst also playing guitar and providing backing vocals. After Catatonia split, Roberts worked as a record producer before co-founding Welsh rock band Sherbet Antlers with former Catatonia bass player Paul Jones, together with John Griffiths and Kevs Ford from the Welsh dance pioneer band Llwybr Llaethog.[3]
Roberts and Jones went to form Y Ffyrc. By 2012, Roberts had formed a Cardiff-based soul-inspired band The Earth, with Dionne Bennett (of The Peth) and Dafydd Ieuan (of Super Furry Animals).
