About RNB Music Production

---

Robin was born in Edwards, Mississippi and has evolved from a popular performer, to entertainment

executive, to business man and custom home builder in the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex in the state of Texas. And is the first African American to grace the cover of Builders Architecture Magazine, not

Once but has been honored three times in the last forty years.

If Robin “says” something… you can take it to the bank. He’s a determined “results oriented”

professional who has been molded and refined by his Christian character and spiritual belief.

In his beginning show biz years, Robin sang on London Domain records, and was noticed by HB Barnum

and swiftly taken to Capital Records, along with Lou Rawls. He’s traveled with Dick Clark’s Caravan of

Stars, appeared on America Bandstand more times than he can count or remember, and considered

Issac Hayes, Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Cyndi Birdsong (The Supremes), James Brown, Ike and Tina

Turner, Brenda Holloway, and Patti Labelle all friends.

He moved to Dallas in the 70’s and was signed with Stax Records, by Issac Hayes and Al Bell. By the early

80’s he decided he wasn’t going to sing any more and went to work in a new field of work. He became

a custom home builder after a brief apprenticeship with Jesmer Custom Home before striking out on his

own. But music was still calling to him. He found himself writing music for other local artist which lead

him back to partnering up with his long time friend of 60 years HB Barnum. And a new friendship forged

with another fantastic Dallas Based musician Norman Williams. Which gave birth to RNB music

production and RNB Gospel Records.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, starting out as a Baptist Church musician, was inspired by

all types of musical cultures like Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Reggae, Pop, Afro Cuban, Country

and Western and Orchestral. The introduction into the business side of the industry with Bette

Braxton and Richard Tee was a real turning point that restructured a lot of what can be

accomplished. Blessed to be around some of the top writers, artists, musicians, producers and

recording engineers in the industry.

Now, being involved in a partnership with two of history’s greatest musicians and performers,

and music’s heroes. And I am referring to Robin “Round Robin” Lloyd and H.B. Barnum whom I

can’t say enough about. Thick and Thin productions Inc., RNB Productions and RNB Gospel
