Artist Bio:
Montreal-born and
Toronto-based, this jazz chanteuse has had a fascinatingly
chameleonic career, and draws from a deep well of experience in
creating her work. Hayle’s musical, vocal and lyrical maturity, so
evident on her albums, is eloquent testimony to a lifelong commitment
to the crafts of singing and song writing.
Robyn began vocal
and piano lessons at the Royal Conservatory in Montreal at age seven,
and won her first International Music Competition at nine, singing
“Faust.” By thirteen, she was performing in city clubs, singing
backup for popular Quebec entertainer Tony Roman.
At 15, Hayle became
the youngest music student ever at McGill, but soon defected to rock
’n roll. She toured with such stars as Johnny Farrago and Patsy
Gallant and headed her own bands, prior to relocating to Toronto,
where she was soon in demand for jingles and voiceover work — in
both official languages.
In Toronto, Robyn
also worked on children’s programming for TVO, including Sesame
Street, and the internationally acclaimed Today’s Special, in which
she played the computer “TXL Series Four”, and did animated
voices that earned her a global cult following. A stint in New York
City studying at the Neighborhood Playhouse was followed by a move to
Los Angeles.
