Robin S, born and raised in Queens, New York, began singing at the age of five in a church choir. Blessed with perfect pitch and a genuine talent to entertain, she took up vocal training at the age of eight under the direction of the legendary Brook Alexander. Alexander, who also instructed Melba Moore, “made learning easy. His style taught me how to create different sounds by using my facial expressions and tones. It enabled me to obtain the skills to become a performer.”

At the age of fifteen, Robin went to join both jazz and cover bands in the New York metropolitan area, performing at dinner clubs, lounges, and other venues. During her tenure as a member of the band “Top Shelf” she met Allen George and Fred MacFarlane, of Homeboy Recording Studios. Fred, a seasoned musician who played keyboards on several of Madonna’s early releases, and Allen immediately realized that they found the perfect accent to their music and began laying demo tracks for Robin’s vocals.

“Show Me Love,” Robin’s first gold single, introduced her as one of the premier vocalists of the early 1990’s. The chart-topping single, punctuated with energetic remixes from Stonebridge Productions of Sweden, originally gained popularity in Europe on Champion Records. The success of the record caught the eyes of executives at Big Beat Records and Robin S was on her way to fulfilling her dreams.
