"Robin
Fox"
Biography
 |
Robin Fox has talent to burn. She's a singer, a
songwriter, and she loves to perform. Show Robin the nearest stage and chances are she'll
be on it in a flash, warming things up in a hurry. Even it there isn't a stage, Robin's
apt to give an impromptu performance. In her early days in South Florida when Robin was engaged in the business of heavily promoting herself, she was known to walk into trendy South Beach night spots most any night of the week and without warning hop on the bar and start to sing and dance to her own CD which she kept in her purse at all times. |
| To this day, Robin keeps a CD of her latest songs
tucked away in her purse "just in case." Says Robin of those early days, "I knocked over drinks and pissed people off at some 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...I love to perform." The outlandish way Robin sometimes dressed, usually in vinyl dresses and shorts with go-go boots earned her the nickname "Barbarella", a stage name which she still sometimes uses. As a singer and dancer, Robin has always been a little ahead of the game. At Lexington High in Massachusetts Robin was involved in many musical productions including The Music Man and had the leading dancing role of Zeenita Shin. |

| At 19, she played the campy, singing and dancing role
of "Colombia" in the critically acclaimed Boston Production of the Rocky Horror
Picture Show. While "paying her dues" as an intern at KISS 108 radio station and
WMJX, Robin worked on every independent film she could find and once auditioned for Matt
Damon and Ben Affleck. On not getting the part, all Robin will say, "Hey, it's their
loss, not mine." Once Robin moved to South Florida she started doing Bud Light commercials, three or four infomercials, and small roles in major pictures. Robin helped make ends meet with singing telegrams and small roles in the theater...and often flew back and forth between L.A. and Miami in search of good parts. Robin's first break came into 1994 when she met producer Lawrence Fordyce who helped and encouraged her. Whenever he needed a female vocalist, he would call Robin for the role. She was also encouraged by friends to take voice lessons and strengthen her voice so that she could sing the very wacky songs she was writing at the time. The Bachelor Pad Music CD, which Robin sang on and wrote the lyrics for, sold over 5000,000 copies worldwide. Robin has also performed with a band called "Bitch" doing a Wendy O'Williams punk rock tribute, has made numerous TV and radio appearances and even had her own South Florida radio show. When one of her most popular songs "Call Me If You Need A Little Action" began taking off all over Europe, Robin decided to devote more time to her music. Soon, her radio show was becoming so popular that it turned into a popular South Florida TV show. But by this time Robin had written "I See Stars" and it was getting so much air play at major stations that she gave up her job in television to promote the song full-time. |

Says Robin of this song: "I See Stars" was written for the trance movement. It's about love and sex...it's about spirituality also, and UFO space or time travel. It's also about loving someone as you would God, or your mother, whose love we deeply need at times when things are rough. Trance music brings us closer to each other and whatever spiritual beings we believe in to make our days and nights happy." |
