About J-Rob

J. - ROB is the name adopted by a collection of extremely talented musicians and singers led by veteran vocalist Jesse Robinson.

JESSE ROBINSON has performed, professionally, since the age of 14. He made his national debut in the mid-1980's with the R&B quartet "Transit Authority" and their Top 40 "You Make My Life So Right", penned by Bob Seger's, "Old Time Rock and Roll" writer, Tom Jones. Jesse and "Transit Authority" were the hit of the "Jack the Rapper" convention in Atlanta, Georgia of that year and garnered an invitation to the nationally syndicated T.V. show, "Soul Train".

A new millennium opens with Jesse Robinson as the leader of his own act highlighting versatility.
