Flamboyant, in-your-face rocker Robin Black brings his inimitable style to the VJ Search Expert Panel. An indelible mainstay of the Canadian music scene, the Manitoba native moved to Toronto in 1998 with nothing but bravado and determination, and soon formed The Intergalactic Rock Stars, with himself as outrageous front man. Their spectacular live shows - which feature pyrotechnics, loud guitars, ferocious attitude and smutty language - helped them build a dedicated local fan base. They recorded 2002's full-length debut, Planet: Fame, with top producers GGGarth Richardson (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine) and Moe Berg (The Pursuit Of Happiness).

Having shortened the band name to Robin Black and securing a new five-member line-up, the group created their 2004 album Instant Classic with world-renowned producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, KISS) and Richardson. Black and his band have toured Canada and Europe dozens of times, they have sold 20,000 albums independently and their video for the single So Sick of You even garnered a 2003 MMVA nomination. A larger-than-life personality, Black is at times charismatic and charming, at others arrogant and offensive, but he is always memorable - making him an ideal choice for MuchMusic VJ Search: The Series.
