Episode 112. Join host Troy Saunders as he chats with truly one of the hardest-working and multi-faceted performers in the entertainment industry, Keith D. Robinson.

In a world where talent is an ingredient for success, Keith D. Robinson is ahead of the game. He is a true triple threat as the talented actor continues his pursuit as an all-around entertainer. Before making his way to Tinseltown, the Kentucky/Georgia native set his sights on music and attended the University of Georgia. He has had an illustrious acting career, landing an incredible 70 projects in both television and film. Keith has been able to establish himself as a face to watch in the entertainment industry for quite some time, starring in popular works like "Dreamgirls, " "This Christmas," "Four Seasons," "Fat Albert," "CRU," and the "Life Story of Mahalia Jackson" staring alongside Grammy Award-winning singer Ledisi and veteran actor Columbus Short. Additionally, he starred in "Saints and Sinners" for all six seasons, which are now available on Hulu.

Robinson may be best known for his critically-acclaimed role as C.C. White in the Academy Award-winning feature film, "Dreamgirls," which remains a major benchmark in his career as an actor and singer. The movie was directed by Bill Condon starring Beyoncé Knowles, Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, and Anika Noni Rose.

He has gone on to work on several projects, including "Dear John," "Get On Up," the life story of James Brown, alongside the late Chadwick Boseman, "All Eyez on Me," the life story of Tupac Shakur, "35 and Ticking," "Hopelessly in June," and many more. Keith recently completed his directorial debut project, "The Greener Grass Experiment," from his Scenes and Songs Production imprint, in which he not only directed, but he also wrote and starred in the project. This short film was submitted and won the Essence Film Festival.

Moreover, Keith was recently nominated for a NAACP Image Award for the scripted podcast "Crimson Hearts" via Hallmark. Additionally, he filmed a brand-new television show, "Conspirators," in Washington D.C. Mr. Robinson looks to expand his repertoire with a slate of new projects on the horizon such as "LA Social," "The Wilshire," and many other TV, film, and music projects under his Scenes and Songs production company.

In this episode, Troy and Keith converse mainly about Keith's music career while touching on highlights from his impressive history as an actor. Troy started by playing a couple of tunes from Keith's first full-length album, "Love Episodic," released in 2017, "Love Somebody," and "Tip Toe". They also discussed how Keith got his break as an actor. Believe it or not, he never really had plans on becoming  an actor. Hear how it came to be in this episode.

Throughout the conversation, Troy plays songs from Keith's up and coming album "Love Episodic 2". "Love Episodic 2" is scheduled for release sometime in the fall. All but two tracks are songs, in Keith words, "I wrote to get some stuff off my chest." No fluff music here. His latest single, "We Got Somethin," was just released on all digital platforms and debuted at #17 on the Sirius XM Heart and Soul charts.
