Show Robin the nearest stage and she'll be performing on it in no time whatsoever. Whether Robin is acting, modeling, or singing, you know everyone will be watching. Even if there isn't a stage, Robin's apt to give an impromptu performance.
Originally from a rock and roll town in Boston, Robin grew up liking disco, Motown, and the music of such artists like Grace Jones and Donna Summer. "It seemed as if no one liked that style except for me, so it was a way to be different," says Robin. "I love to dance! So dance music was in my blood. I never learned to play an instrument, but I always knew I wanted to sing."
This talented young artist has always been a little ahead of the game. Her first break came in 1994 when she met producer Lawrence Fordyce (better known simply as "Ford"), who helped and encouraged her. At that time, Robin was working for a newspaper writing articles, and Ford as a musician with a band that he played with on Friday and Saturday nights. Whenever Ford needed a female vocalist, he would call Robin for the role.
A few years later, in March of 2000, Robin Fox exploded onto the dance music scene with her hit single release, "I See Stars," which peaked at an astonishing #13 on the Billboard Dance Music Charts. The song was originally a poem that Robin had written about a guy she was involved with. It wasn't about until two or three years after she had written it that the idea of turning the poem into a song came about. "I need your love, like the flowers need the sun, inside my soul there is a hole that only you can fill..." Ford saw these words and said, "That's really good, let's put it to this music."
Robin didn't just magically rise and appear over
night; Robin had to work
really hard in getting her and her music
noticed. Sometimes decked in vinyl dresses and shorts with go-go boots, she was
known to walk into trendy South Beach (Florida) night spots most any night of
the week and without warning, would hop on the bar and start to sing and dance
to her own cd which she kept in her purse at all times. "I knocked over drinks
and pissed people off at some of South Florida's finest establishments, but I
didn't care. I was out to show the world that I not only was a songwriter and a
singer, but a damn good performer too."
Robin took this same determination and brought it with her to get herself noticed on the airwaves. She would go to Power 96 every Thursday and between 3 and 5 pm (which is their record day), jump up on the desk and literally demand that they play her song. Even after saying they'd play her songs, they never did. But this did not stop Robin, she kept at them throughout their different excuses - whether it be "too slow" or "not good enough." Until finally, "I See Stars" came about. By that time, two things happened, recalls Robin. "I made a perfect song that Power 96 would have to play. It was everything they ever wanted and there wasn't any other artist out there in the South Florida that could beat us."
"I See Stars" can currently be heard on radio stations all across the country and over seas. Her follow up single, "It's Gonna Be Okay," which was released earlier in 2001 has already been picked up by stations all over, and has been getting very positive feedbacks from Freestyle, Trance and dance music fans alike. When asked what's in store for Robin Fox, she answered with "posters, tee shirts, a Grammy, book deal on my life story, modeling contract, movie deal, magazine covers, fashion modeling, MTV, VH1, a cartoon series, a sitcom, a variety show, Broadway, the works!" This is definitely one diva we should all expect to see and hear more of!
