Robin has four solo piano recordings to her name—Twilight, Somewhere in Time, Songs from the Castle, and Waltz of the Asparagus People (a collection of compositions corresponding to the stories in her latest book).  Goldsby has appeared on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered, the Leonard Lopate Show, and Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland.  Robin is a Steinway Artist. She is also the author and composer of "Hobo and the Forest Fairies," a musical for children recorded by WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk) in Germany.  As a lyricist Goldsby has penned songs for Till Brönner, Curtis Stigers, Jessica Gall, Jeff Cascaro, Robert Matt, and Peter Fessler. In 2010 her collaboration with singer/composer Joyce Moreno, "Slow Music," received a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Brazilian Album. Robin currently lives outside of Cologne, Germany, with her husband—jazz bassist John Goldsby—and their two teenage children.
