Red Robyn

Robyn was born and raised in Wentworth, Durban. She uses her music as a medium for creating art that both challenges and encourages listeners to experience music rather than assume the attitude of passive listening.

Robyn has since spent time cultivating her sound and performed her first festival at Oppikoppi 2018. She made her second festival appearance after winning Afropunk JHB Battle of the bands in 2018. She has performed alongside international acts such as Thundercat, The Internet and Fying Lotus.

In 2019, Robyn released her debut single 'Dust and Iron'.
