Robin S was 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, he made learning easy. He 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. One of the popular name bands of that era was "The New York Soul Syndicate", where she held it down as the lead vocalist for the all male group for seven years, performing at dinner clubs, lounges, and other venues. It was during her tenure as a member of the band Top Shelf, she met the Producers of the song "Show Me Love". They 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. Her first release was in 1990 under Robin Stone (that's what the "S" stands for). The chart-topping single, punctuated with energetic remixes from Stonebridge Productions of Sweden, originally gained popularity in Europe on Champion Records only in 1993. 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. Robin's debut album on Big Beat/Atlantic Records, "Show Me Love" immediately broadened her fan base. The diverse sounds of the record, which changes between beautiful lush ballads and bold toe-tapping rhythms, were created by a variety of producers, including Junior Vasquez, Nick Martinelli, and David Morales. "Love For Love", another chart-topping track from Robin's debut is a fiercely hypnotic track filled with syncopated beats, added her to the elite list of dance diva. I don't mind being called a diva one bit. There are some great divas in the world like Aretha Franklin and Patti Labelle and if I am going to be considered a diva like they are. And Robin's efforts paid off. In 1993, Robin was named BEST DANCE ARTIST at the Billboard Awards and Show Me Love received the 2 awards for Best Dance Single and BEST DANCE ARTIST. Robin also earned the award for BEST DANCE ARTIST at the industry annual Winter Dance Music Conference. Robin's live performances on the stages of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, just to name a few and abroad continues to work its magic and show off Robin's diversity. She finds no trouble engaging her audience. "When I do a show, I want people to feel as if they are an intricate part of my performances".
