Robin picked up the 'ukulele upon retiring from a 20 year long career as a professional ballet dancer. She had danced in such companies as the Joffrey Ballet and the Metropolitan Opera, and she missed performing.

Her original songs have been described as "Joyously satirizing themes from Classical Mythology for modern times"

Robin is influenced by early blues and ragtime, country music, and proto-punk rock and roll. She believes that any beloved music can and should be played on 'ukulele.
