Hey there,
My name is Rachel Eileen Robinson and I'm a singer/songwriter living in Ontario. If you are interested in getting to know a little more about me continue reading and I will tell you how I came to be a musician.
My childhood was tons of fun! Growing up my parents surrounded my four brothers and sisters and I with music. My younger years were spent in Ireland (my family is Irish) and later Ontario, but no matter where we were music could be heard throughout our house!
My Dad played a mean guitar, accordion and harmonica and was always singing, especially Irish folk songs. He played professionally in Ireland and later Canada before becoming a professor and raising all of his kids with my Mum. My Mum also loved music and played piano very well. As a child I would often sit with her at the piano watching her play and listening to her beautiful voice.
All the children in my family studied piano, among other instruments like the flute, banjo and mandolin but later like my father I took to the guitar.
After receiving a guitar for one of my birthdays from an old boyfriend I began writing and singing my own songs. This pleased my dad to no end and he was always the first person I showed a new song to. A few years ago my Dad (being my biggest fan) replaced the guitar my old boyfriend bought me (because it was just a starter guitar) and got me a beautiful Larrivee. The sound is incredible! I am now a full-time musician with an American agent and I'm looking forward to recording my cd in the near future. For now I have posted one song "A Million Years" I hope you like it!
Drop me a line and say hi sometime...
This page is dedicated in memory of my biggest source of comfort and best friend, my Dad, Thomas H. Robinson who died December 29th 2007. No words could ever express how much I love him and the emptiness I feel now that he's gone. The best dad a kid could ever have, I will miss him terribly for the rest of my days. Forever in my heart he will be...xoxo
love,
Rachel
