Donte Robinson music
............................................................
.................................History:
Introducing Donté Robinson; a hip, young singer and songwriting sensation from the San Francisco Bay Area. With the producing power of Vince V. of "Sky High Entertainment", Donté is sure to make a huge impression with his special brand of R&B.
Originally from Oakland California, Donté grew up in a musically talented family while grooving to R&B, Jazz, Gospel, Funk, and Hip Hop. At a very young age, Donté had an uncanny ability to mimic the vocal styles of many popular balladeers of the '70's and '80's.
Donté began performing in front of live audiences while attending high school. It was during this time that he discovered his love for entertaining which led to numerous performances in talent shows across the Bay Area, as a singer and Hip Hop dancer. He also wrote and recorded songs as a member of "Taylor Made", a male R&B group that was produced by Tim Christian Riley of the multi platinum band, "Tony Toni Toné".
Today, Donté can be found in the studio writing and/or recording new hits. A natural tenor, Dontes soulful vocal range glides effortlessly from baritone to soprano and he'll capture you with his angelic falsetto.
"My aim is to make music that makes people feel good by combining old and new school flavor with a touch of my own magic."
If you like R&B, you'll LOVE Donté Robinson
Be on the lookout for a debut album release from Donté Robinson which has yet to be titled. The album will be released independently and should be in stores soon. Updates will follow.
