Robin Crow

Robin Z. Crow (born October 30, 1953 in Austin, TX) is an American author, recording artist, and public speaker. Crow is best known for his 2002 autobiographical book entitled "Jump and the Net Will Appear". He is the builder, owner, and operator of Dark Horse Recording Studio in Franklin, TN. Crow also speaks at seminars and clinics around the country.

Career

Crow began his career as a recording artist just out of high school by performing for over 600 high schools across the western United States in 3 years time. At the age of 21, Crow moved to Hollywood, CA to further his music career. Basing himself out of California, he began touring college campuses performing an average of 100 concerts a year. Crow released six nationally distributed albums; three for Sherwood Records and three under the label Fortress Records before catching the attention of RCA Records, who signed him in the early nineties, and released the album Electric Cinema in 1992.

It was after this record that Crow was inspired to create a recording studio of his own. Originally opened in 1993, by 1999, his vision was completed and Dark Horse Recording Studio was born. This recording complex is located in Franklin, TN, and has hosted such artists as Tim McGraw, Neil Diamond, and Amy Grant.

In 2002, "Jump and the Net will Appear" was published by New World Library. The book is an autobiography of Crow's journey from struggling recording artist to successful business owner. He has since released three records under the label High Concepts. In 2006, his book "Rock Solid Leadership" was published through Simple Truths, and soon his book "The X-Factor" will be released with the same publisher. Crow is currently working on a new album to be released sometime in 2009. He has also recently finished writing a new book: "A Good Planet is Hard to Find" with the forward written by Lee Iacocca and the preface written by Tim Flannery.
