Born and raised in Garfield, NJ, Janice took to music at an early age. She poured more energy into her craft at Adelphi University where she majored in theater but spent hours secretly composing songs in the music room. After leaving Adelphi, she continued to perform music, playing with a variety of bands from 1989 to 1995. For one year during that time she was on tour with a European dance music band, which taught her a lot about the strain of constant touring but also set her up with a host of international contacts. During one extended stay in Italy, she met Joe Vannelli, who would collaborate with her on some of her first songs, "Children" and "Sweetest Day of May." 
 In 1994, Robinson had her breakthrough hit, "Dreamer," which she performed with the Italian-based club group Livin' Joy. After that success, she returned to the U.S. and retreated to songwriting, penning songs for Wyclef Jean, Taylor Dayne, Soul Solution, Junior Vasquez, and David Morales. She was soon signed to Warner Records, and her first album with them was released in 1999, entitled The Color Within Me. The album showcased Robinson's unique vocal style, which crossed rock influences with R&B. 
 In more recent years, Robinson has collaborated with David Morales on tracks such as ‘There Must Be Love’, Freedom and continues to tour around the world. 
 In 2022, Janice re-released her iconic 90s global hit ‘Dreamer’ with DJ Lodato, alongside various remixes.
