jazz-singer-deborah-robinson“Any form of creativity is a path from the soul. Awareness of how tones of the scale relate to different colours. When I paint a deep blue colour, I hear a cello or an oboe, sounds like deep grief only more comforting.

I would like to know that I have touched people somehow through my art & personally.” ~DL Robinson Jayne Darcy’s A Light in the Dark (Mar 29, 2005)

Press, reviews and recommendations:

“A well disciplined voice mixed with a true love for music is the magic combination Deborah Robinson has captured. Whether playing piano or strumming guitar, Deborah has a heartfelt quality to her songs. Belting out the blues is her specialty.

Songs & Albums

I am writing a new album of sounds, but I need to tell you precisely what is coming, so you will have to wait and see. A lot of deep thought and planning goes into the process before the songs are written, performed and recorded.
Birthing new music is complex. Some ideas pop out and others can take years to incubate. Many bits and pieces exist here, and I need to discern that which is important to share. What message do I want to put out there?
Besides the songs, the signature sound must come together. I am trying to sort out my home recording situation. I am trying to find the optimal way to get my ideas down. So far, my iPhone is the best tool I have for that, but the sounds are not studio recording quality.
As much as I would like to rush the process, it is impossible. Stay tuned. I promise it will be good. Subscribe for updates. Find out more about my musical background here.
