has many talents and names:he is an
extraordinary artist (Robi Draco Rosa), composer (Ian Blake), writer/producer (Draco Cornelius/Dolores del Infante)
and his true name (Draco Cornelius Rosa). He started his musical carrer at the age of 8 in Puerto Rico
with a local group called Admir. This exposure gave him the opportunity to be part of the highly global
success boys gorup, Menudo. After three years in the group he decieded that it was time for a
change. Draco moved to Brazil where he did a couple of solo albums in portuguese and then to
California where he participated in two groups: Maggie's Dream and Sweet & Low, in which
he was searching for his own musical identity.
It was time for Robi to proyect himself as a international solo artist, so in 1993 he recirded his first spanish cd, Frío with Sony Records. His second album, Vagabundo, which gave him the opportunity to express himself as he really wanted, was released in 1996. Robi defines his music like a 'life style, my life style, creative and experimental with appreciation for the lyrics'. Then in 1998, he finally released his first english album, Songbirds and Roosters, which was recorded by the same time as 'Frío', but wasn't released in those days. Another aspect of this artist, which most people not know, is his ability to produce records and write songs for other artists. In addition of producing his own albums, in 1994 he was invited to c-produce and write some songs for the album "A Medio Vivir" and "Vuelve" by Ricky Martin. After the success of this albums, it wasn't a surprise that Robi was invited again to be part of Ricky's first english album which has has a tremendous international success.

call for the essence of life.
