Robyn L. Charles is the youngest of 12 children born to the beloved singer and artist, Ray Charles Robinson, and mother Gloria Moffett. Robyn was raised on the west side of Chicago, which is a city full of musical giants such as Common and Quincy Jones. This fact, along with Ray’s strong success and stardom, makes her in many ways pre-destined to become a big name in the industry. Her earliest musical inspirations were inclusive of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Prince, and of course, the many melodies made by her own father. Her first professional plunge was signing a single-year contract with MTM Chicago, which would surely steer her towards singing as an ongoing occupation. Attending Columbia College in Chicago handed Robyn a large number of hands-on training in Music Business Management, providing proper preparation for engagement in her eventual career. As life can lend blessings, Robyn became a mother and this brought about a hefty hiatus from her musical aspirations. In 2004, Ray Charles passed on, prompting her to start seeking out ways to immortalize his words and his work. It was at this time that Robyn used her skills in songwriting to co-write and co-produce Let’s Talk About It and (IDK) I Don’t Know. This would break her into the business in a bigger way. She was also then granted the gift of a second child.

For several years, Robyn would continue to chip away at creating an original sound and style. She has referred to her vivacious vocal sound as Urban Soul, which is a clear combination of gospel, jazz/funk, R & B, and Soul, combined with country, pop/rock, and hip hop. The production team that she chose to propel her music to the masses included Jentleman Sharp of Cambium Music and Shawn Bailey of Zilah Music Publishing. Throughout her time making music, she has worked with some wondrous individuals in the industry, including R. Kelly, Do or Die, Otis Clay, and the band created out of Atlanta, The Band of Mis5ths. This list of legends extended itself to a short tour, where she worked alongside Carla Cooke, daughter of Sam Cooke and Rhonda Ross, daughter of Diana Ross, as well as her participation with Keisha Jackson (Millie Jackson), Heather Hayes (Isaac Hayes), and Namphuyo-Aisha Wright (Betty Wright) on the Daughters of Legacy Project. Lastly, she is creating her own mark in the music-making business through her own company, R. Charles and Company Music Publishing House, which is currently producing an entertainment series in New Orleans. Robyn also managed to make time to participate in both stage and screen productions. In November of 2017, she had her first leading role in the stage play, His Double Life, which debuted in Atlanta. As to big screen sensations, her melodies were made part of the movie soundtrack for Love N Success. Being in this part of the industry allowed her to work with well-known actors such as Ralph Harris, Bernie Mac, and Samuel L. Jackson, featuring as an actress in Soul Men. She hopes to continue working in motion pictures while she creates music. As to present projects, Robyn is set to release her single Dirty Laundry in 2022. She will be performing a one-woman show entitled Dirty Laundry LIVE, slated to start in the Fall of 2021. She has been attending and showing support for various charity events and is scheduled to perform in Russia in July 2022. Finally, a tribute album to Ray Charles is in the works, featuring an array of affluent artists and the appointed Grammy Award-winning musicians and producers, Gordon Williams and Robert Glasper. Although Robyn intends to follow in the fantastic footsteps of her father, she hopes audiences all over the globe will see and support the artistry and accomplishments that she, Robyn Charles, created and cultivated.
