ROBIN HALPIN's musical qualities include spark, fire, wit and poignance. She can make you cry and she can make you laugh with her tales of a childhood swirled into a modern day potion of sanguine melodies and pulsating rhythms. Halpin transforms her unpredictable adventures into marvelous, heroic, humble musical essays. Her voice is uplifting, firm, optimistic and articulate. Robin grew up listening to Motown and jazz piano. Her earliest musical influences include Oscar Peterson, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Nina Simone, Donny Hathaway and Nancy Wilson. While with Tommy Boy Records in the early '80s, she co-wrote and co-produced three LPs with the Force M.D.'s, a do-wop hip hop group who had a Top Ten R&B hit Robin co-wrote: Tears. She has also arranged horns for James Brown, Africa Bambaataa, and has remixed for Island and Warner Brothers.
