NEWS & RUMOURS
12 Stops on the Road to Nowhere, a film in which Robia stars, will be showing at the Slamdance Film Festival in January.
Robia is currently working on a screenplay with a friend.
Robia helped Prince write and sing a song called 51 Hours, an unreleased song from the Diamonds and Pearls Album, and is listed in the writer's credits.
Someone on the Robia list said they were sure they say her in an oatmeal crisp commercial. I need more info on this!
FUN FACTS TO KNOW AND TELL
Robia was originally supposed to be a one-time guess star on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but she gained a recurring role because Joss was so impressed with her work (or maybe it had something to so with our BBMC campaign. Who knows.) Robia on Jenny: "Jenny is such a great role! It's wonderful to play a character who is smart, sexy and funny. Really good writing is so rare and Buffy just gets it all right. It's the kind of role I've dreamed of since I started my career."
Robia started dancing at age 12, concentrating on jazz, tap, and ballet
Robia became a professional dancer when she was just 16 and starred in over 30 music videos
Robia had never been to a concert before she started touring with The Artist Formerly Known As Prince
Robia inspired The Artist Formerly Known As Prince's Diamonds and Pearls theme. She also accompanied The Artist Formerly Known As Prince on his European tour, acting as lead dancer, and is on the album cover as well as in several music videos. Robia acted as spokesperson for the Artist during his self-imposed public silence.
