Robyn Troup (born February 11, 1988 in Houston, Texas) is an American singer, who was the winner of the "My Grammy Moment" contest, organized by NARAS and Yahoo! Music and announced at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards on February 11, 2007. Through online and text message voting, she was placed in the top three along with 30-year-old Africa Miranda and 22-year-old Brenda Radney and attended the Grammy ceremony. Jennifer Hudson announced the winner and Robyn Troup immediately went onstage to perform "Ain't No Sunshine" and "My Love" with Justin Timberlake.[1]
She previously auditioned for American Idol Season 6 during Summer 2006. She made it past the initial site auditions to the "Hollywood" selection phase later in 2006, but was cut in the second (group) round. The episode showing this was first aired on February 13, 2007.
Troup attended school at T. H. Rogers School and Yates High School (both in Houston). She is currently enrolled at University of Southern California.
Since winning the "My Grammy Moment" contest, Troup has been performing (including Chevy's Freedom Over Texas Fourth of July Fireworks and HEB's Houston Thanksgiving Day Parade) and recording music. She currently produces her own YouTube video series, with friend Cindy, mixing performances of original songs and covers. Troup updates her MySpace page with original music, photos, news and more.
