Background

She rose to prominence singing at local karaoke shows and vocal performances with her father
Kevin Parker Robinson
. Ryan Black heard Savannah in 2008 while he was having lunch outside in Culver City and a truck pulled up to a red light and a big booming voice came from the truck. Black looked over and saw a little girl singing at the top of her lungs so he rushed over before the light turned green & threw his
business card
to her father and asked him to call her. Her videos were being discovered and soon she was being booked in different venues. Her big break came in the summer of 2010 when she sang during the
Long Beach Pride
festival, performing twice on the smaller stage of the festival, and then she was asked to perform on the main festival stage. Her performance was taped and was released on the internet. She also was the opening singer at the Los Angeles Gay Pride Festival in 2010.
Following that, she appeared on local television on the Los Angeles
KTTV
show
Good Day L.A.
.

She then appeared on American nationwide television on

on February 18, 2011, after
Ellen DeGeneres
saw her singing on YouTube and wanted to meet her in person. She was immediately signed to Ellen DeGeneres' record label

in March 2011. Savannah came back to the show on March 30, 2011, to perform the song "
And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going
" with her favorite singer
