Robin Graham was born on May 15, 1985, in London, England. From a young age, he showed a keen interest in music and began playing the piano at the age of five. His parents, both music enthusiasts, encouraged his passion for music and enrolled him in piano lessons. As a child, Robin was a prodigious talent and quickly progressed through the grades. He won his first piano competition at the age of eight and went on to win several more in the following years. His talent was recognized by his teachers, who encouraged him to pursue a career in music. Robin attended the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he studied under some of the most renowned piano teachers in the world. He graduated with honors and went on to pursue a career as a concert pianist. Robin's career took off quickly, and he soon became known for his virtuosic performances and his ability to connect with audiences. He performed in some of the most prestigious concert halls in the world, including Carnegie Hall in New York, the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the Berlin Philharmonic. One of Robin's most memorable performances was his debut at the Proms in 2008. He performed Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and his performance was met with critical acclaim. The Guardian described his playing as "mesmerizing" and "spellbinding," and the audience gave him a standing ovation. Robin's talent was recognized by the music industry, and he received several awards and accolades throughout his career. In 2010, he won the International Piano Competition in Leeds, one of the most prestigious piano competitions in the world.

He continued to practice for several hours a day and was always looking for ways to improve his playing.
