She wrote over 500 songs with more than 130 songwriters. During that time, she joined a group called the Young Riders which included her friends Blake Shelton, Rachel Proctor, and Ryan Murphey. Before long, the buzz reached Music Row. Robin signed her first record deal in 2000 with Sony/Columbia Records. Sony was so impressed with her production style, they asked her to coproduce an album with several acclaimed producers. During the following year, she recorded with Paul Worley, Kyle Lehning, George Massenburg, and Kim McLean. Her single, "Girl In Love" came out just three weeks before the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Despite the confusion of a nation in mourning and a label in disarray, "Girl In Love" was on GAC's Top Ten videos and was on Billboard's Top Single Sales for more than 8 months. After 5 downsizes at Sony which ultimately ended in a complete regime change, Robin asked to be released. She used this time to work on new music and bolster her efforts with her band. Since then, Robin has opened for many headliners including Clint Black, Brad Paisley, Joe Diffee, Mark Chesnutt, and most recently, Willie Nelson.
