Robin Wiley, a native Texan, from a musical family, honed her style on old country classics, gritty rock tunes, and new pop hits, cultivating a unique sound encompassing Americana and Pop/Blues/Rock. You can feel it in the honesty of her voice and the clarity of her lyrics. She will be releasing three singles in 2021, including, “Hot Child in the City,” “No Freedom,” and “Everything Must Change.” The songs are bright, almost playful while delving into the issues that confront everyone. Robin’s spirit shines through the first single release, “Hot Child in the City,” written by Nick Gilder and James McCulloch in the 1970s.

“Hot Child in the City” was inspired during the Covid pandemic. Lance Keltner produced the single and it was mixed by Mark Rains and Bjorn Thorsrud in Los Angeles-Mastered by Nick Landis. The musicians include Cole Hanson, Mike Moyer, Jeff Howard, and Mark Parmenter.

 

“I called my friend and colleague Lance Keltner and told him I was feeling depressed and wanted to record a song just for fun. Before you knew it, people were getting their Covid shots, things were getting better, and we had created an excellent track followed by a video. Curtis Cole directed the video and Midi Soliz was the stylist (Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez). I called up The Vallejo’s, 512 Studios, and friends to create a unique and meaningful studio experience.”

Robin’s previous work includes the album Texicali produced by Ted Russell Kamp (Shooter Jennings), Somethin’ Bout Love, Sunflower, and the single “What About Me.“ Other notable achievements include performing voice-overs, jingles, an active role in a film commemorating the life of Woody Guthrie, and acting appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Sarah Silverman, and “Ghost Whisperers.” For several years, Robin Wiley has performed the National Anthem at the ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot. As an avowed abolitionist against child slavery, she devotes time and effort to LOVE146, a charity for victims of child trafficking. Robin has dedicated her life to making a difference through music and action.

Robin’s songs give the distinct impression that success hasn’t robbed her of a sincere and humble sense of humanity. You can feel it in the honesty of her voice and the clarity of her creative delivery and lyrics.
