ABOUT ROBBY

---

Robby Celestin has performed at the White House, throughout the Caribbean, Rome, China, Tahiti, and for NATO troops on multiple USO tours. His career has placed him on stages alongside major artists including Barenaked Ladies, Maroon 5, The Goo Goo Dolls, The Four Tops, The Temptations, ELO, Survivor, Malo, Tierra, Dion, Andy Williams, the Gatlin Brothers, and Chicago icon Gene Chandler.

Born in East Chicago and based in Chicago, Robby brings a soulful voice, powerful presence, and unmatched versatility to every stage he steps on.

Robby’s MC work is polished, engaging, and rooted in his diverse background—from his time on 97.9 The Loop FM Chicago (The Danny Bonaduce Show) to becoming a TED Talk speaker whose message continues to inspire audiences worldwide.

His ability to guide a crowd, elevate a moment, and create connection has made him a sought-after host for events of every size.

After more than two decades of performing and leading acclaimed bands like TimePeace and Final Say (under the Maggie Speaks umbrella), Robby launched The RCP, one of Chicago’s most electrifying live bands.

The RCP is a scalable, high-energy ensemble—expanding up to 10 pieces with a horn section and three dynamic vocalists. Known for thrilling choreography, top-tier musicianship, and an unmistakable spark, The RCP fills stages and brings crowds to life at festivals, weddings, galas, and corporate events.

What sets Robby apart is his hands-on approach. From planning to the last encore, he ensures every event is unforgettable.

Beyond the spotlight of live performance, Robby is an accomplished songwriter.
His album Voiceprints earned top honors, including:

• #1 Chicagoland Independent CD (NWI.com)
   
• Top 10 Seller on CD Baby
   
• Top 5 Editor’s Pick on CD Baby
   

His music—praised for heartfelt lyrics and memorable melodies—continues to reach listeners across all streaming platforms.

Music runs in the family: his father, Robert “Cuate” Celestin, performed with the Atlantic soul group The Enchanters and worked with Motown royalty including The Jackson 5.

In 2014 Robby launched A Chatter of Fact, a fast-growing podcast filled with honest, humorous, and inspiring conversations with performers, creators, and industry professionals.
The show, combined with his TED Talk, opened doors to speaking engagements where Robby continues to motivate and educate up-and-coming artists.

Beyond The RCP, Robby occasionally performs with small duo or trio groups—a playful, improvisational space where his humor, storytelling, and crowd connection shine.
These intimate shows feature acoustic covers, audience interaction, and the heartfelt originals fans love.

A powerful voice, unparalleled charisma, and a lifetime of stories fuel every performance.
