Robyn Janelle
At just 19 years old, Robyn draws inspiration from many of the people, places and things in her life. She loves her
family, her friends and her church group. "I have a little piece of each of them in me. It is what makes up the fabric of my life". From these influences, Robyn has learned at an early age about being grateful and humble while still remaining strong. This is apparent in her personality and in her singing. She has a 5 1/3 octave range! She sings not only with power, but also with passion and sensitivity; three elements rarely found in such a young artist. Robyn also draws inspiration from some of the great singers and entertainers of our time, including Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, and Beyonce. With Beyonce's style and class, combined with Whitney's dynamic vocal performances and Janet Jackson's signature dance moves, Robyn is sure to become an unforgettable landmark artist of her own, just as those who have come before her. What drives and inspires her to sing is simply the opportunity for Robyn to do what she loves. Robyn embraces the feeling that music ignites in people and how it can evoke a memory, create a picture, or take you on a journey. She wants to be able to create those feelings for her fans and be a good role model for her little sister.
Robyn's latest venture was her exciting roles as Lucy's Back Up Singer and Choral Girl in the 2006 Disney/Touchstone hit movie, "Step Up". Robyn also sang background vocals on the Jive soundtrack. Prior to the role, Robyn opened up for such major acts as Ciara and Mario. Building her ability to wow an audience, she has appeared on Showtime at the Apollo where Robyn was named a Top Dog Finalist. Also declared the Best R&B singer and winner of the R&B SOUL Talent Showcase (which was judged by New Edition), Robyn appeared in several other competitions and events in the area – even offering a breath taking performance at the legendary Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D.C. Robyn feels that she will be able to make music that appeals to everyone; people of all cultures and races, backgrounds and influences – music that is not defined but music that everyone can relate to and enjoy. Being an R&B based singer, Robyn sees herself crossing over to Pop as well. She is not afraid to take risks and hopes that her music will be able to push boundaries as well as display her vocal talent. "I'm my own worst critic. If I’m not giving it my all, then what’s the point? Entertaining is what I love to do. It is in my blood. There will always be hard work involved, but I welcome the challenge. Bring it on!" |
