From his career's breathtaking start to the present, he has proven his mettle as an iconic reggae musician, with over 200 exhilarating songs and twelve inspiring albums to his sterling reputation.

The musical maestro’s journey began as a drummer in a school band, where he first showcased his leanings toward divine rhythms and magnetic melodies. Over the subsequent decades, Robinson morphed into a versatile musical genius, adept in a range of genres including Reggae, Rock, Soul, Hip Hop, and R&B. His music catalog, boasting over ten albums, is a testament to his flair for variety and constant evolution.

Robinson's eruption onto the music scene came in 1992 following the release of his debut album, "Once Again," on the illustrious VP Records Label. The album featured the unforgettable hit "Knocking on Heaven’s Door," heralding Robinson's arrival as a promising star in the reggae scene. Shortly after, he inked a deal with MCA Records, paving the way for a series of successful albums.

Subsequent delights included his third album in 2005, "Solitude," and "The Awakening" in 2008, produced by Jerome Rhodd. His journey took a soaring turn when he teamed up with the Push Broom Gang Label to release "Written in Stone" in 2011. With unforgettable hits like "Our Heroes," "If I Follow My Heart," and "Talking Blues," Robinson's status as a leading reggae artist was undeniably cemented.

The track "Our Heroes" reverberated across globe-spanning mainstream and satellite radio stations, including SiriusXM Radio. Robinson's musical prowess continued to shine through his releases in the ensuing years. His 2014 album "On Covers" paid homage to industry legends, including the late John Holt with "Tribute to John Holt," produced by Kemar "Flava" McGregor.

As Robinson’s journey continued, he nabbed number one spots on charts in New York and Florida with his hit single "Kool Off" from the 2015 album "Yard Magic." This winning streak showed no sign of ebbing as hits like "Thinking of You" and "The Blame Game" surfaced. Robinson further shed light on his versatility in 2018 with the gospel album "Glory and Praise."

Robinson's record-breaking dedication led to the release of another single, "I'm Not That Guy," in 2023, further affirming his remarkable constancy as a reggae front-runner.

Alongside his fruitful career as an artist, Robinson has enriched the industry with his gifted approach to music production. He's worked with industry icons like Dennis Brown, Richie Stephens, Buju Banton, Luciano, Maxi Priest, Super Cat, and Snoop Dogg, showcasing his adaptability in various industry niches.

Robinson successfully incorporated his entrepreneurial acumen into his music career. He co-founded Da Global Base, formerly Reggae Global Entertainment, with his musical family. The artist-owned ensemble provides comprehensive services, including artist management and booking, digital distribution, recording studio services, and much more.

Robinson’s passion for music transcends studio confines, evident in his thrilling performances at Reggae Sunsplash in Jamaica, Beres Hammond and Friends Florida Tour, and Germany Tour, among other global platforms.
