Myriam Roulet, known professionally as RoBERT (born 14 October 1964), is a French singer, composer, and lyricist.
As an independent artist and songwriter, Robert's musical style is described as fairy-like, straddling the line between the tragic and the gothic, sometimes infused with a touch of absurdity. Themes of death, childhood, and love frequently feature in her songs, characterized by her crystalline, often delicate opera voice and the baroque (and occasionally electronic) musical arrangements. Often likened to Mylène Farmer, Barbara, or Marie Laforêt, she has achieved artistic success in France and Belgium, as well as in Japan, despite a certain level of media obscurity. Robert's live performances are often filled with hypnotic, euphoric, and at times dramatic moments.
