Robby Blackwell was born on September 21, 1985 and grew up in Dallas, Texas. The son of two teachers, he became involved with music at a young age – enrolling in choir, tap dance, hip hop, music production, piano and other instrument lessons. He credits Pink Floyd, Prince, Kanye West, Michael Jackson, and Usher as among his musical influences. He moved to Los Angeles after graduation to intern at Jive Records.
