Through her life experiences and her desire to further her family legacy, Robyn's independent music endeavors will not only introduce her to the industry, but to the world. Following in her father's footsteps, Robyn expects and demands to be known for her own gifts, talents, artistry, and accomplishments. She's not just "Ray Charles' Daughter" anymore!
