About Robin Filippone
When her peers were listening to the “hit” of the moment, Robin Filippone had a unique infatuation for the old standards. She would listen to ten different variations and interpretations of one single song until she would wear it out only to move on to the next! She identified with the simplicity yet immeasurable depth and honesty that is absent in so much of today’s music. Robin was particularly interested in a group of singers that fell into a category which was considered pop music in the 50s but whose repertoire consisted of jazz standards. Such artists with whom Robin identifies are Connie Francis, Julie London, Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney, and Judy Garland.
Robin has been compared to a modern day Julie London whose sultry sound simply told a story with a sexy laid back approach to singing. She has been performing professionally since the age of 15 and has worked with some of the industry;s best producers and musicians including Nick Masi (The Four Seasons), Rob Fusari, Dr. Tony Camillo, Kim Scharnberg, and countless other brilliant musicians. She has studied voice since the age of 13 with the renowned Bill Riley.
She has appeared on Ed McMahon’s Star Search and has also been closely affilated with the Miss America Organization for the past ten years. She has worked with the USO and has entertained veterans across the country and was critically acclaimed for her performances at the Showboat Casino Hotel in Atlantic City which drew sellout audiences 12 shows a week.
Her“mission” is to bring a larger, younger audience to the songs that she considers to be the true essence of music. Robin combines sublime pitch with the sultry sound of familiar traditional jazz, infused with hints of contemporary phrasing. Through this, she captivates both—younger and older generations.” Robin can be found performing all over the New York area. She currently has a regular spot at SMOKE, one of New Yorks finest jazz clubs, fronting Bill Mobley’s Smoke Big Band.
