Janet Robin, a Southern California native, began her musical journey under the tutelage of guitar teacher Randy Rhoads. In high school, she became the lead guitarist for the all-female rock band Precious Metal, signed to Polygram and later Chameleon/Capitol Records. After the band's dissolution, Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham handpicked her for his 1992 solo album, profoundly influencing her music career.
In 1998, she debuted with "Open the Door" on Little Sister Records, earning praise for its pop sound. Janet's musical exploration continued with the 2007 acoustic EP "Days of Summer," recorded in Europe. In 2012, she bridged acoustic and rock with "Everything Has Changed," funded by her dedicated fan base. Collaborating with producer John Carter Cash at Cash Cabin Studios, she released the album in Europe through Hypertension Music.
Janet's solo career expanded globally with successful tours in Europe, including headlining shows and festivals. She collaborated with diverse artists, including Lindsey Buckingham, Tommy Emmanuel, and Michelle Shocked. Her original songs found placements in TV shows and films, showcasing her versatility.
Beyond her solo endeavors, Janet is a guitarist in the band "The String Revolution," nominated for a Grammy® for their unique arrangement of "Folsom Prison Blues" featuring Tommy Emmanuel. The band's EP "Red Drops" gained popularity on Spotify, and they received acclaim for their live performances.
In 2022, "The String Revolution" released a cover of "Crazy Train" with Steve Stevens, honoring Janet's late teacher Randy Rhoads' Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame induction. Janet's diverse career includes coaching actress Jennifer Jason Leigh for a guitar scene in Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" and playing in musicals like "Girlfriend," "Soul Doctor," and "Staring into Nothing."
