Part of the live acid-jazz and community often tapped by nu-soul artists and hip hop beatmakers, Robbie McDonald is a full time musician and instructor from the DC area. From writing a song with Lewis Taylor to performing 'Soul Man' behind John Witherspoon , Robbie's short career has already proven noteworthy.
Touring with various groups while still in his teens, Robbie has since made a name for himself as a producer and sideman to a bevy of influential artists from both sides of the Atlantic. Whether playing guitar with Grammy noms Chrisette Michele (US), or Raheem DeVaughn (US); Omar (UK), Goapele (US), Julie Dexter (UK), or bass guitar with Eastern Standard Time (US), Robbie brings a signature style and a wealth of experience to any musical outfit.
Firmly ensconced as one of the main brains behind the sound of Debórah Bond (US), Robbie has written, co-produced and played various instruments on all her releases.
Heard on TV spots for Discovery HD and CSTV , Robbie also produces tracks as himself and for other artists under his initials, rdm .
The track 'afterthewoman' on this profile is used as the theme for XM Radio's E-Class , hosted by Debórah Bond.
