About Me

"Doug Robinson offers Piano-driven rock from the soul. His sound carries with it traces of R&B, Soul with a dash of Pop Rock. Keep your eyes and ears out for this up and coming band."
-The Canopy Club, Urbana IL
Doug Robinson is a 24 year old seasoned singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL. Propelled by his staggering vocals, "The Chain of Events EP," is exactly what the title portrays. This eclectic collection of piano driven melodies takes you on a trip through many of life's encounters. Tracks from the up and coming singer's debut album include "Your Love," a fervent tale of the dangers attributed to giving up your heart, "Asleep," a song about coping with the end of a relationship and "Perfect," a ballad expressing the brighter side of love. These stories, conveyed through his sincere and ardent lyrics, are no stranger to the naked ear, for we've all gone through similar situations at one time or another.
"I try to write what comes naturally to me; love and pain and happiness. They're all parts of a relationship. And they've all been a part of my own life. I feel a sense of accomplishment everytime somone tells me that they can relate to what I write. I love that connection."
Doug's debut album, "The Chain of Events EP," will be released this fall and will be followed by an independent midwest tour. Look for Doug at a college or venue near you.
