"Welcome Robin Marie Willis to my page! I got to hear of Robin through her proud mom...Since then I have been listening to her music. She is fantastic! She is also the CEO of Mad Hot Vocals. She hails from Texas and I think we're going to be hearing a lot more from this young lady in the future! " - Laney DeJesus
"Because of the saturation of attempts at novel arrangements and performances surrounding this well worn song and music it is a very difficult piece to creatively attack and re-create uniquely. Brave, and nicely done. I enjoyed it... Oh, and it certainly helps to have a solid vocal talent involved :-)" - J Brain Hennessy
"Robin is thrilled to make her debut with the Artisan Theater in HELLO DOLLY! She loves the stage and has been blessed with the opportunity to work with many groups, including the Keene Camarata Orchestra, The Aria Chamber Chorus, The Cu-Vee Band, and The Brave Combo Band. Ms. Willis appeared in Mustard Seed Theatrics’ original stage production of IN HIS WILL, as well as the Oak School of Ballet’s LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD.
