"Robin DiMaggio has been given all the gifts from the Angel of them all, Jeff Porcaro. His touch and theatrics takes us through all grooves and styles mastered by the Angel above."
-Grammy Winning Producer, Greg Ladanyi
"Robin's musical talent and humanity is matched only by his wit and sense of humor. Upon meeting him there was an instant connection that we got to share with the people gathered at the UN. A true professional and a great human."
-International artist, K'NAAN
Robin DiMaggio is a musical force with whom to be reckoned. Known as one of the world's premiere drummers and percussionists, Robin is also a highly skilled songwriter, composer, conductor, arranger, producer, and instrumentalist on the piano, bass, saxophone, and clarinet.
Robin has toured and recorded with music veterans such as Paul Simon, David Bowie, Jackson Browne, Diana Ross, Dr. Dre, Luther Vandross, Sean Lennon, Johnny Cash, and Chris Isaak; as well as with acclaimed world musicians, sitarist/composer Ravi Shankar and violin maestro L. Shankar. He has also appeared on David Letterman and performed at the Grammys, American Music Awards, World Music Awards in Monte Carlo and the MTV Awards.
Having traveled extensively from an early age, Robin’s music incorporates rhythms and sounds from diverse cultures throughout the world. Robin has recorded three solo albums: Blue Planet, a musical tribute to his world travels, Sphere, a collection of lush, provocative piano solos, and Cinematic Lounge, a larger than life soundtrack. In addition, Robin has recently released a brand-new drum training DVD, Planet Groove, which is a unique look into his 9 different styles broken down into 24 lessons.
Robin currently has some exciting new projects in the works, as he was personally hired by Cardinal Poupard from the Vatican in Rome to oversee the upcoming Cathredalia (the largest rock opera written for the SEA Vatican), to be held in Rome, Italy.
The vast array of influences in Robin’s life have made him a charismatic ambassador of the arts. He has been assigned the returning position of Music Director for the United Nations Millennium Development Goals Awards, to be held in Senegal in September 2009 and in Abu Dhabi in March 2010. He is also the Music Director for the Vijay Foundation Trust, which will host a star-studded event in Los Angeles, December 2009.
Robin’s most current project is Earthsong, a CD compiled of tracks from top artists in every country around the world. Spearheaded under Humanitad.org, Earthsong is part of a larger effort to save the environment and promote world peace. As the Senior Producer, Robin will be responsible for coordinating “one hundred and ninety two world artists, one hundred and ninety two songs, and seven world-music albums in a united campaign with one world message: no more war.”
Robin would like to send a special thank you to his sponsors: Air France, Monarch Clothing, Humanitad.org, Paiste Cymbals, Pro-Mark Drumsticks, Axis Percussion, SJC Drums, Earthworks Microphones, and Mountain Rhythm.

As Thanksgiving Day rolls around, It brings up some facts, quite profound. We may think that we're poor, Feel like bums, insecure, But in truth, our riches astound.
We have friends and family we love; We have guidance from heaven above. We have so much more Than they sell in a store, We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.
So add up your blessings, I say; Make Thanksgiving last more than a day. Enjoy what you've got; Realize it's a lot, And you'll make all your cares go away.
