Robin English is a true artist with a Texas soul.

In 2007, Robin was one of the Top 50 most played artists for the whole year in Texas. Robin's album Velvet Covered Brick packs hit after hit, with two top twenty hits in the Texas charts and more to come. From the humorous and thought-provoking rewrite of the classic "Mama's Don't Let Your Cowboys Grow Up To Be Babies" to the rich story telling and gritty harmonica playing on "Cotton Field Girl," this album is deep with artistry and entertainment.

In a storm of long, golden hair, Robin English mesmerizes her audience with gutsy harmonica riffs and her unmistakable sultry, powerful voice. "This Texas gal ... has been... gathering fans and believers in her wake." (Nashville Music Guide)

Those who hear her, are blown away: "Robin English is a force of nature," American Songwriter /Music Row Magazine's music journalist, Larry Wayne Clark.

Robin's single on Sony/Columbia, "Girl In Love," was on GAC's Top Ten videos and Billboard's Top Single Sales for more than 8 months. She has been receiving standing ovations opening for Willie Nelson. Willie said "she knocked 'em out!"

There's no doubt that "Robin English is a pure artist who needs to be heard...the sooner the better." (Hal Ketchum)

Like many artists, Robin grew up in a musical family and moved to Nashville to pursue her dream. She and her band played in clubs all over town. She wrote over 500 songs with more than 130 songwriters. During that time, she joined a group called the Young Riders which included her friends Blake Shelton, Rachel Proctor, and Ryan Murphey. Before long, the buzz reached Music Row.

Robin signed her first record deal in 2000 with Sony/Columbia Records. During that time, Sony signed several Texas artists including label mates Jack Ingram, Deryl Dodd, and Charlie Robison. Sony was so impressed with Robin's production style, they asked her to coproduce an album with several acclaimed producers.

During the following year, she recorded with Paul Worley, Kyle Lehning, George Massenburg, and Kim McLean. Her single, "Girl In Love" came out just three weeks before the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Despite the confusion of a nation in mourning and a label in disarray, "Girl In Love" was on GAC's Top Ten videos and was on Billboard's Top Single Sales for more than 8 months. After 5 downsizes at Sony which ultimately ended in a complete regime change, Robin asked to be released. She used this time to work on new music and bolster her efforts with her band.

Since then, she had the great honor of entertaining our troops and has opened for many headliners including Clint Black, Hal Ketchum, Roger Creager, Will Hoge, Brad Paisley, Joe Diffee, Mark Chesnutt, and Willie Nelson. She also continued to write and perform on albums for great artists such as Reckless Kelly, Joe Diffee, Bob Wills (tribute), and Gene Autrey (harmonica credit for tribute with T. Graham Brown, Marty Stewart, and others).

In December 2005, Robin signed a new deal with Brass Ring Records. This Texas based indie, formed by Robin and her family, was committed to focusing on her Texas roots while building on the national presence Robin had from her Sony days.

In early 2006, she finished the video for her single, "I'm The One," which was played on CMT.com.

Robert K. Oermann of Music Row calls the single, "Moody, smoky, and sultry," and he mentioned Robin as one of a few indie artists who are really " stepping up to the plate to challenge the major leaguers " (Music Row, 2006).

In 2007, "Cotton Field Girl," climbed to the top ten in Texas and "Mama's Don't Let Your Cowboys Grow Up to Be Babies," followed strongly on its heels: a much celebrated success after visiting hundreds of radio stations, countless gigs, and many years of relentless pursuit. With Robin's unique blend of Texas troubador story-telling, blues harp playing, and dynamic soulful singing, this velvet covered brick is bound to keep on "knocking 'em out."
