Robin English- from Sony Records to Global Row Productions
"Robin English is a force of nature," says American Songwriter and Music Row Magazine''s music journalist, Larry Wayne Clark. In a storm of long, golden red hair, Robin mesmerizes her audience with her gutsy harmonica riffs and her unmistakable sultry, powerful voice. Known for her high energy performances, she has become a local favorite at such Nashville venues as 3rd and Lindsley, The Bluebird, and The Wildhorse. This multi-talented singer, songwriter, and producer is destined to make an unforgettable mark.
Robin was born into a musical family and grew up harmonizing with her mother, father, and sister. They played country, rock, gospel, blues, folk, r&b, and bluegrass at every family gathering and at political functions in Texas. She got her first taste of the studio when she was only 4 years old as she watched her parents coproduce a country album of songs they had written. Robin made her television debut at the ripe age of 8 on the Mansfield Opry in her hometown in Texas. Through the years, she has spent countless hours honing her writing, producing and performing skills including harmonica, guitar, acting, and dancing.
Robin moved to Nashville in 1992 to continue pursuing her music career. She graduated with honors from Belmont University with a degree in Music Business and English. In January of 2000, she signed her first record deal with Sony records and had the opportunity to coproduce with Paul Worley, Kyle Lehning, George Massenburg, and Kim Patton-Johnston. Her first single, released in August of 2001, was on Billboard''s top single sales for 9 months and was among the top ten most requested videos for Great American Country. She has opened for such acts as Clint Black, Brad Paisley, and others. In 2003, Robin asked to be released from Sony. She recently completed her new album "Hello Me" and she continues to play with her band.
Robin English has been blessed with an incredible voice, beauty, and the rare ability to move people with the songs she creates. Her passion, intelligence, determination, and artistic vision have prepared her to be an undeniable force in the world of music.
Quotable Quotes ... re: Robin English
Robin English is a force of nature. Her voice seems to burst forth from some rapturous, soulful inner vault --- powerful and pliant, seemingly capable of anything yet never mindlessly acrobatic. She also sounds like no one else. That she''s also a superb songwriter, plays guitar and harmonica with gusto, is a dedicated producer and can light up a stage with personality should be enough to send a squad of wannabes scurrying back aboard the Greyhound. If they only knew. And they will. Larry Wayne Clark-Songwriter/Journalist- Music Row and American Songwriter Magazine

The first thing I loved about Robin English was her voice...heard a demo.
The second thing I loved was her songwriting...same demo. The third thing was her physical beauty...had a meeting. The fourth thing was her spirit...we got to work together. The fifth thing was her grace...the project was never released. The sixth thing is the same as #4, her spirit. She continues to do her work with joy, curiosity, and love. In my experience, it doesn''t get better than that. Kyle Lehning-producer

Robin is a brilliant writer. She knows what she wants to say and has a wonderful way of putting a song together. She is both intelligent and entertaining. The result is fresh and engaging. Robin''s voice has a personality all it''s own. She is instantly recognizable, which in itself is a great asset.

I''ve had the opportunity to write with and for a number of acts over the last few years, especially female artists.

"Robin English? Talk about refreshing!! Her vocals are wonderful, but it is her delivery that is captivating. In Nashville great singers are a dime a dozen, but what you don''t see every day is someone who puts you in the front seat with them and takes you on a ride through every song."

I''ve worked with most of the top producers on Music Row over my career. Some work from the side of musical artistry, while others work from the standpoint of commercial success. Robin is able to bridge the gap between artistry and blood-boiling commercial appeal in a way that makes her production style very exciting.
As an artist, she''s the complete package. The first time I worked with her, I was hooked on her ability to interpret a song and draw you into the lyric. After countless hours of working with her, I''m still amazed at her effortless delivery of a song.
I''ve been in the front row for her live show and I''ve stood behind her with a guitar around my neck; Robin has always blown the roof off of any venue, no matter where I was standing. She plays guitar, she plays harmonica, she sings to every person in the audience like they''re the only person in the room. Shawn Simpson- engineer
