Robert's Music Bio
As a teen, I was a big fan of The Beatles, and formed a rock band with my best friends. In my early 20’s I was writing songs for my church youth group, and then was a music minister for some 20 years and composed 13 church musicals for children, youth, adult and senior adult choirs. Along the way, I earned Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance and later did graduate work in music composition and education. Now I am writing sacred SATB a cappella music for church choirs, church school choirs and Christian college choirs. I’m releasing recordings of the music from my Robert B. Robinson Praise Choir, which is made up sampled voices from the DreamTonics company.

HIGH SCHOOL DAYS
In high school, played rhythm and lead guitar in a band named The Filaments. We were essentially a Beatles cover band, but we also played some Top-40.
In the summer of 1968 as a recent high school graduate, I participated in a city-wide presentation of the first church youth musical, “Good News,” playing guitar and singing.
