Music and announced at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards on February 11, 2007.[1] Through online and text message voting, she was placed in the top three along with 30-year-old Africa Miranda and 22-year-old Brenda Radney and attended the Grammy ceremony. Jennifer Hudson announced the winner and Robyn Troup immediately went onstage to perform "Ain't No Sunshine" and "My Love" with Justin Timberlake.[2]

She previously auditioned for American Idol Season 6 during Summer 2006.[1] She made it past the initial site auditions to the "Hollywood" selection phase later in 2006, but was cut in the second (group) round.[1] The episode showing this was first aired on February 13, 2007.
Since winning the "My Grammy Moment" contest, Troup has recorded a cover of "Back in Black" with Carlos Santana and rapper Nas for Santana's latest release, Guitar Heaven and is currently in the studio writing and recording her full-length debut.[4]
