Ramirez has an extensive repertoire ranging from pop, jazz, latin, country and plays popular cover songs from the 20's to the 60'S. He enjoys watching the crowd have a good time whether dancing or singing along. He resides now  in Corpus Christi, Texas,  with his wife Monte Ramirez, who does back-up vocals with him. He resides now in Corpus Christi, Texas and freelances in the area. In his own words Robert Ramirez have learned that "music like a smile, is the same in any language..."
