Biography

Early life Robin grew up in California's Orange County. He began playing guitar and writing songs at age 12, and later performed at clubs in Hollywood with a band that ultimately broke up. He was athletic as a child, participating in gymnastics and baseball. Later that year, Robin performed alongside the Moshe Hecht Band at the Roulette Theater as part of a fundraiser for Lamplighters Yeshivah. The following month, he and Gad Elbaz played at a Chabad menorah lighting inside Barclays Center accompanying a New York Islanders game.

Robin announced in early 2016 that he was working on new material with producers Stu Brooks and Joel Hamilton.

Robin released New Moon Rising in 2025, made in conjunction with Los Angeles-based producer Fraymes.

Artistry Robin's style of folk rock has been compared to Mumford & Sons, Iron & Wine, and Bob Dylan. He has stated that his early songs were conceived almost unconsciously: "I was relying on my subconscious to teach me messages. I would mouth sounds until they became words and so I had whole songs that I didn’t understand." He has also identified his faith as an influence, saying, "Being a Jew is an inner experience of growing in this context. I’m trying to tap into my American roots and express my American Jewish journey."
