Roberto "Robby" Navarro, Jr., popularly known as Robby Navarro is best known as one of the finalists of Pinoy Idol where he reached the 10th spot.
He was once part of a singing group called the Wiseguys, but made a difficult decision to go solo, which he claims is paying off. He released an eponymous solo album in 1999 under Sony BMG Philippines.
He and his acoustic group Soul'Dfree performed on regular gigs in Bagaberde in Pasig and Roxas Blvd., Masas Greenbelt 3 in Makati, Moomba in Roces Ave.
Navarro auditioned in Angeles City in Pampanga. He was chosen to be in the Top 24 and eventually making it to Top 12.
After Raymond Gutierrez said that it was Navarro's turn to go home, everyone was disappointed. Even the judges were not expecting that Robby had been eliminated that early.
When the bottom group was revealed (Daryl Celis, Sue Ellen and Robby Navarro), Ogie Alcasid was not expecting that Navarro would be in the bottom three, knowing that Navarro is one of the better singers in that competition. Adding to that, Jolina Magdangal said that it's not worth it to be included in a bottom group after a one npt-so-good performance. While Wyngard Tracy warned the Filipino viewers to vote objectively and do not blame them if the winner of Pinoy Idol would not be deserving.
Navarro appeared in some of GMA Network's shows including SOP, Sis and The Sweet Life with Lucy Torres - Gomez and Wilma Doesnt.
He performed in SOP as one of the performers of the segment "You've Got Male" temporarily replacing Pinoy Pop Superstar Season 3 runner up Bryan Termulo for several weeks. Navarro also had the chance to sing with RnB Prince Jay-R, Queen of Soul Jaya and his co - Pinoy Idol contestant Sue Ellen in singing "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys.
