Robbins shared that his initial spark for performing came from watching his father, a folk musician with a group called The Highwaymen, on stage. "I felt that was like the entry point," Robbins recalled, describing his three or four-year-old self thinking, "I want that." While he inherited a love for music, even having his own band called The Rogues Gallery Band, acting became his primary focus, starting in grade school. He revealed that he's currently mixing some live concert recordings from his band, which will be featured on his new website.
