艺人介绍

姓 名: Janice Robinson。出 生 地:Garfield, New Jersey, USA 。出生日期:December 8, 1967 (1967-12-08)。 Janice Robinson出生在美国的新泽西州的一个小城镇Garfield。是90年代Eurodance(90年代初期欧洲电子舞蹈音乐)、Hi-NRG(70年代后发展的一种DISCO和POP风格的音乐)、Italo House (80年代形成的一种意大利家庭音乐和DISCO风格)等各种音乐领域的领导人物。也是Livin' Joy (90年代的一个意大利家庭音乐团体)的主唱。她的歌基本上都是反映了当时的现实社会生活,通过歌曲来婉转的表达出对生活的期望和现实的残酷与无奈,当然叛逆也是难免的。象歌曲“Nothing I Would Change ”(我无法改变任何现实),“Search For Love ”(寻找爱情),“Afterlife ”(往生)等等,都唱出了她自己的亲身感受;而“Dead End Girl ”却又充满了调侃的味道。

Biography

by Stacia Proefrock

Born and raised in Garfield, NJ, Janice Robinson took to music at an early age. Shyness and loneliness caused by being one of the only African-American kids in a neighborhood of Polish and Italian families, coupled with the rebellion that almost naturally comes to daughters of Baptist preachers, kept her from seriously pursuing her talent until high school. She poured more energy into her craft at Adelphi University where she majored in theater but spent hours secretly composing songs in the music room. After leaving Adelphi, she continued to perform music, playing with a variety of bands from 1989 to 1995. For one year during that time she was on tour with a European dance music band, which taught her a lot about the strain of constant touring but also set her up with a host of international contacts. During one extended stay in Italy, she met Joe Vannelli, who would collaborate with her on some of her first songs, "Children" and "Sweetest Day of May."

In 1994, Robinson had her breakthrough hit, "Dreamer," which she performed with the Italian-based club group Livin' Joy. After that success, she returned to the U.S. and retreated to songwriting, penning songs for Wyclef Jean, Taylor Dayne, Soul Solution, Junior Vasquez, and David Morales-Robinson. A desire to receive more recognition for the hits that she was writing led her to resume her performance career. She was soon signed to Warner Brothers Records, and her first album with them was released in 1999, entitled The Color Within Me. The album showcased Robinson's unique vocal style, which crossed rock influences with R&B and also featured an impressive list of supporting musicians, including Jim Keltner, Waddy Wachtel, Ry Cooder, Steve Ferrone, Jimmy Johnson, Michael Landau, and Richard Page.
