Interview with Robyn Ottolini

ROBYN OTTOLINI is a seventeen year old singer-songwriter who has been immersed in the magic of music since the age of 3. In Uxbridge, Ontario - her home town - she is known for singing throughout the halls of her high school. ‘Without looking, teachers know it’s me when I get into class,’ Robyn says with a smile. She remembers coming up with melodic ideas as early as ten years old and wanting to write songs. Piano lessons weren’t enough to satisfy Robyn’s musical interests, playing flute in the school band helped but, it was the introduction of the guitar where Robyn found her writing partner. Her earliest songs were written with her grandfather’s Harmony guitar from the 1950s. ‘I write songs about what I’m feeling and what’s happening in my life.’ When the opportunity to sing on demos for a local recording studio presented itself, Robyn jumped right in. Her original songs caught the producer’s attention. Her debut album is called Fairytales and Open Doors featuring the first two singles Ring Around The Roses & Little Back Road..
