"Rapper Robbi looks like a china doll but don''t let her appearance fool you - this girl is tough as nails."

"She has a spin to her records that even now I can''t quite put my finger on, but I can say that I think she has something to powerful to ignore." - Editor in Chief, https://www.tradebit.com
"Indomitable as far as her music career is concerned" - Indian Express The North American Edition
Challenging traditional South Asian and Muslim beliefs from childhood while confronting a competitive rap industry for over 10 years, Robbi is determined to make her mark in the music world from her home of Chicago.
The petite East-Indian musician began writing songs as early as eight years old. Robbi''s first performance was in a Mosque at the age of fifteen, when she recited an Islamic themed rap song. Her popularity in the asian-american community grew after winning the international YellowFist Asian writing competition (with over 10,000 entries) and being featured on the cover of Ivy League university magazine A.A RockZine!. Winning numerous rap battle competitions sponsored by educational organizations such as the Anti-Truth campaign, and ending each of her solo concerts by "freestyling" with the audience, Robbi gained tremendous respect from the underground hip-hop scene. Apart from exclusive concerts or battle competitions, Robbi has also performed for fashion show events such as Hollywood''s Celebrity Fashion Designer Danielle Kelly (https://www.tradebit.com). One of her most memorable performances was held with global hip-hop luminary KRS-One, who commended Robbi on her vision.
Robbi''s songs have been featured on many of the world''s top urban radio stations such as Chicago''s WGCI 107.5 FM, along with much support from top college radio stations such as WNUR 89.3 FM. She is also starring in the upcoming documentary film"That Asian Thing" (https://www.tradebit.com) along with a soundtrack single for "Leg Before Wicket" (https://www.tradebit.com), set to be screened across international film festivals. Aside from movies, Robbi is also familiar with the television world, as she has been filmed to appear on a VH-1 Show "Miss Rap Supreme" in early April. Her first state-wide television appearance is on WFBT''s "Masti Chicago" along with a LA/NY appearance on "Hot Wax Chicago" which scheduled to broadcast in Spring. She has also performed on several syndicated talk shows such as The Flabby Hoffman Show and The Chicago Rock Show. Robbi''s LP "Speak" is now available featuring her hit single, "Suffocation".
