Janet Robin’s musical education began the moment she met her guitar teacher, Randy Rhoads (Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne). Under Rhoads’ tutelage, Janet became an ace six-string player and, while still in high school, parlayed this education into a position as the lead guitarist for the all-female rock band Precious Metal. Precious Metal released several albums and wrote with Heart, Poison and Cheap Trick.
Robin has toured, performed with, recorded, or written songs with Tommy Emmanuel, Peppino D’Agostino, Meredith Brooks, Monty Montgomery, Michelle Shocked, Maia Sharp, Marcy Levy (co-writer with Eric Clapton on “Lay Down Sally”), Ann and Nancy Wilson (Heart), Garrison Starr, Anne McCue and many more. She was also the touring guitarist of Air Supply in 2007-2008.
In 2017 she was named in Guitar Player’s “Top 50 Acoustic Guitarists” (Bonus List), amongst many notable players. Janet has also had her original songs placed in TV and films such as “One Life to Live,” “All My Children,” “Felicity,” “Free Enterprise,” and many more. Along with placements she has also composed original scores for short films such as “Traces” directed by Joseph Culp which was accepted into the prestigious Palm Springs Short Film Festival and the Hollywood Film Awards. In 2017, she had an original song in a short film “Casting All Corpses” which won the “Best Comedy Short Award” for the Reel Hollywood Film Festival.
In January of 2015, Janet was hand-picked to coach and consult actress Jennifer Jason Leigh for 2 months on location and in Los Angeles for a special guitar scene in the Quentin Tarantino film, "The Hateful Eight." The actress was nominated for an Academy Award.
Janet has also played guitar for productions of the musicals “Girlfriend", “Soul Doctor” and "Staring Into Nothing”.
