Robbi Spencer was a child with a lot of special dreams and ideas. He would invent things and build things and somehow make people happy. Though as a youngster, his bridges were built with rocks and sticks, someday that would be built with concrete and steel. Not knowing what great things lie ahead, Robbi spent his time dreaming and designing the world of his future. As time passed Robbi learned many things from his parents, friends, and people he met from day to day. All of these things built a foundation that he could rest his ideas upon. Robbi began at a very early age developing a relationship with our Creator. As he grew, he learned of spiritual values and he gained wisdom through the years that would help him become a mighty force that God could use, even in spite of himself! As a youngster, growing up in Sacramento, California, Robbi's development was accelerated by the fast paced environment of the big city. Together with his two sisters, Robbi grew up in a good home where both his parents had good jobs and his Grandparents lived with them and took care of them when they were their parents were at work.

Robbi began spending his summers in Jamaica with his father. There he learned about the basics and rudiments of music from his Uncle Don (Don Carlos) and the locals in Kingston and Lawrence Tavern. The music of the islands is quite different from that of music from the US, but it was a great spawning ground for musical ideas in Robbi's head. Before he even played a note, he could see and hear music. On his first trip to Jamaica, his father's friend gave Robbi his first acoustic guitar and he would sit on the beach in Kingston Bay, playing that guitar.

Robbi began taking piano lesson on a regular basis. This was the beginning and foundation of Robbi's musical journey! Though learning the piano was extremely difficult and frustrating for Robbi, he continued to take lessons and perform at piano recitals for four years. Robbi was nervous performing in front of people and still is somewhat to this day, though you would never know it.

Robbi graduated from High School two years early and moved away from home. He lived there and went to school at Sierra College, where he studied music and computer science. Robbi started a band, The Spencer Hectic Group, where he played progressive rock music at parties and outdoor events. Robbi jammed with several other bands during this time, like Tyrant (Reinkus Tide).

Robbi began playing with a rock group named Tangent. Working with Ray Torres, Robbi began writing new music that was not only thought provoking, but inspiring. Tangent opened for bands like The Tubes and Greg Kihn and Tesla. About a year and a half into it, Robbi struck a deal with PureMetal Records and set out on his own to find his own identity and getting his hit song "Thrashin' Your Car!" out there to the public through mainstream radio!

Robbi met Carter Sorenson while playing in a club in Reno. Carter enjoyed Robbi's singing so much that he took Robbi home to meet his family and they all bonded and became good friends. Carter and Robbi agreed to create Progressive Edge Records LLC, in order to produce and distribute high-quality spiritually oriented music on a large scale.

Robbi later joined StrangeEye and they continued to play music, only they completely revamped the entire band and it's members and it was Albert Leon, III and Brant Callahan and Robbi Spencer who were left from StrangeEye, new members came and went and pretty much filled things out until they could get back on their feet. Drummer Richie Colton was instrumental in getting SE up and going. Albert, Brant and Robbi became the SE core. 3-guys that would never give up on each other and always stick together no matter what.

Secret Enterprise was way more than a band at this point. The boys had worked hard, went to online training, studied hard and brought their production skills up several notches and SE was now a real Production Company Secret Enterprise Productions and a high-tech recording studio SE Studios. Their goal was to produce quality music and videos that would serve as entertainment for the general public. As a band, SE joined forces with Drummer Ryan Sweeton and Lead Guitarist Wade Maddock, to create a live music group that would play various venues in and around Northern California.

Much notoriety has been going SE's way as SE has also received the praise of many famous people like adult film star Ron Jeremy and funk legend Bootsy Collins and Ronnie Shirley of Lizard Lick Towing, a reality series on Time-Warner's TruTV cable network. SE has collaborated on music projects with great musicians like Tommy Lee and Rob Zombie, releasing songs like "Tommy Don't Sue Me", featuring Tommy Lee on Drums and "Bite Your Lip", featuring Rob Zombie on Vocals. One of SE's newest songs, entitled "Lead Me On" features Chris Cornell on Vocals.

Robbi, Shirl and SE all will continue to do amazing things at SE Studios in Grass Valley, CA. There is so much music to be made and it will be made at SE, where all of these chosen individuals have been truly called to congregate and do this work. Life goes on for the ones who choose to live it and there is literally nothing that can stop the flow of information that will come out of SE through the various blogs. Your support is very important to the undercover ministry that the Spencer's have so graciously taken upon themselves...

Please take a few minutes to pray for Robbi & Shirl's lives and ministries and that God will keep the blessings flowing to the ones who really need it the most. We live in a really crazy world and there are countless people who live in total misery, without hope and completely alone and WE CAN HELP THEM!
God Bless all of you!
