Myriam Roulet, known professionally as RoBERT, is a French singer, composer, and lyricist.

In November 1990, Robert released her debut single, "Elle se promène," which was partially produced by Neal Aston in London. This initial song received significant airplay on French radio and even became a dance hit in Japan. The music, combined with the stark atmosphere of its music video directed by John Lvoff, drew the attention of Mylène Farmer, who invited the young artist to participate in two radio shows. Robert subsequently appeared alongside Mylène Farmer and even performed on one of the shows hosted by Nagui.In November 2006, Robert signed a contract with a new distributor, Rue Stendhal. As part of this deal, all her albums were re-released in January 2007, making them available again after being out of stock for many years. Additionally, in early 2007, she released 'Princess of Nowhere,' a compilation featuring some of her older songs, along with two newly re-orchestrated tracks, 'Mike' and 'Fatal,' all adapted and sung in English. In October 2007, a DVD of her recital 'Haute Couture' at Espace Pierre Cardin in Paris was also made available.

A year later, in late 2008, she recorded her new studio album titled 'Sourde et aveugle,' once again collaborating with her husband Mathieu Saladin, and also with Austyn, a young French blues musician with whom she sang 'Le jardin des roses.' The album embraced the fusion of acoustic guitars with her delicate, often childlike ethereal voice, defining a new sound for her.

In 2009, Givenchy selected Robert to provide the soundtrack for the TV commercial promoting their latest fragrance, 'Ange ou Démon le secret.' Directed by the renowned Indian director Mira Nair and featuring Uma Thurman, the ad aired worldwide in September 2009. The song was also featured in one of Michelle Phan's videos.

'Nuit Gravement' is the title of her sixth studio album, recorded in Transylvania. For the first single, she collaborated with the French actor Anthony Delon, and the video was directed by Italian choreographer Giuliano Peparini.

In 2017, she divorced Mathieu Saladin, her former composer and musician, and launched her new independent label, 'Légendaire.'

In 2021, she released her first album under 'Légendaire,' titled 'Le chant des égarés,' featuring design and illustrations by Sauveur Carlus.
