Robbie Trice is a 35 year veteran of Contemporary Christian Music. He is a singer, songwriter and worship leader. He is the writer of the powerful worship anthem, Alpha and Omega, made popular by the Gaither Vocal Band and performed in churches all over the world.

Robbie met his wife, Martha (also a singer) in his senior year of high school. They began singing together at school and local functions. Martha was a Christian and invited Robbie to church before their third date. It was the first time he had ever heard the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. He had recently began to ask the inevitable questions about his purpose and meaning in life. All week he pondered the pastor's message and on the following Sunday, walked to the front of the church and gave his life to Christ. At that moment, he realized why he had a musical talent and where it came from. It was a gift from God and meant to be used to share Christ with others.

After graduation, Robbie attended Florida Junior College, where he met 2 fellow singer/songwriters who also shared his faith and calling. They began to meet and learn each other's songs and soon were playing gigs in local coffeehouses. Shortly after that they added drums and bass and formed one of the first contemporary Christian bands of the 70's Jesus movement on the east coast, Kinfolk. Kinfolk recorded several custom albums and traveled extensively for nearly 9 years. During that time, they broke new ground as they were invited into hundreds of traditional churches who had never allowed their style of music and instrumentation into the church before. Without realizing it, Kinfolk and a few other bands were setting the stage for what is now the standard worship team in most churches today.
