Mirror of Mathis, starring David Robbins, is the world’s number-one Johnny Mathis tribute artist, an all-live (no lip-sync) Las Vegas-based show with headline performances for audiences in excess of 20,000 across the U.S. and Canada plus international engagements in Sydney, London, and Singapore. David has personally performed with Aretha Franklin, The Fifth Dimension, Jr. Walker & the All Stars, The Contours, and The Reflections, and appeared on the CBS Miss U.S.A. State Pageant, PM Magazine, and Life Style.
Johnny Mathis is one of the most successful recording artists in the history of popular music, a Pop Music Hall of Fame and Great American Songbook Hall of Fame inductee, a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, and a Society of Singers Ella Award honoree. “Johnny’s Greatest Hits,” released in 1958, spent an unprecedented 490 consecutive weeks on the Billboard charts, more than nine years on the charts, the third-longest run of any album in history. His catalog of romantic ballads, holiday standards, and Great American Songbook interpretations has soundtracked weddings, Valentine’s Days, anniversaries, and Christmas seasons for nearly seven decades. The catalog connects with virtually every demographic that responds to traditional pop, adult contemporary, easy listening, and Songbook material, from longtime Mathis devotees through younger audiences who came to him through holiday radio rotation and film soundtracks.
Mirror of Mathis goes beyond a standard tribute approach in three meaningful ways. First, all-live vocals with no lip-sync. In a category where many tribute acts rely on backing tracks for the harmonies, David Robbins performs the Mathis catalog live, with his powerful and richly expressive voice and what reviewers have called a “devastatingly accurate” genius for imitation. Second, the credentials are unusually deep for any tribute artist. David has personally performed with Aretha Franklin (the Queen of Soul herself), Jr. Walker & the All Stars, The Fifth Dimension, The Contours, The Reflections, and Lou Rawls, has appeared on the CBS Miss U.S.A. State Pageant, PM Magazine, and Life Style, and has headlined shows across the U.S. and Canada for audiences in excess of 20,000. Third, the act is offered in three bookable formats: solo with professional background tracks, with a live band, or with a full orchestra, giving event organizers real flexibility to match the show to room size, audience, and budget.
The timing matters as well. Johnny Mathis announced his retirement from touring in 2024, citing fatigue and the demands of concentration on stage. At age 90, the original “Voice of Romance” is no longer performing live, and his catalog is now closed in concert. A credentialed Johnny Mathis tribute like Mirror of Mathis is now genuinely one of the only ways for audiences to experience this catalog performed live in a true concert format. For event organizers, that means less guesswork: this is a vetted, family-friendly, internationally toured headliner with Las Vegas-world-class-show credentials, audiences-of-20,000-plus headline economics, and a level of production flexibility (solo, band, or orchestra) that very few solo tribute artists offer.

Mirror of Mathis is a proven fit for:
Mirror of Mathis performs the Johnny Mathis songs audiences most want to hear, drawing from across his seven-decade catalog of romantic ballads, Great American Songbook interpretations, and holiday standards.
Mirror of Mathis, starring David Robbins, is the world’s number-one Johnny Mathis tribute artist. David has been a professional entertainer, impersonator, songwriter, and recording artist for more than ten years, headlining shows throughout the United States and Canada for audiences in excess of 20,000 people. He has a powerful and richly expressive voice, and what reviewers have called a “devastatingly accurate” genius for imitation, with the silky sound, the look-alike resemblance, and the Las Vegas-style stage entertainment that captures Johnny Mathis at every era of his career.
The credentials run unusually deep for a solo tribute artist. David has personally performed with Aretha Franklin (the Queen of Soul), Jr. Walker & the All Stars, The Fifth Dimension, The Contours, The Reflections, and the late Lou Rawls. He has appeared on the CBS Miss U.S.A. State Pageant, PM Magazine, and Life Style.

The show is offered in three bookable formats (solo with professional tracks, with live band, or with full orchestra), making it adaptable to venues from intimate listening rooms through full symphony pops engagements.
Reviewers and clients consistently describe Mirror of Mathis in superlatives. A 70th birthday surprise booking: “David SMASHED IT. She was in tears, happy tears, as David out did himself. Just a nice man, professional and I would hire him again in a heartbeat.” A retirement party booking: “Mirror of Mathis was the highlight of the evening. We all felt he was better than Johnny himself. He helped make it first class.” A 50th birthday party booking: “Outstanding performance and extremely professional. Our guests raved about it as the highlight of the party.” David also performs a dedicated Mirror of Mathis Christmas Show, which has been booked at major venues including the Mainstage Theater at Pheasant Run Resort.

State Pageant, PM Magazine, and Life Style, and has headlined shows for audiences in excess of 20,000 across the U.S. and Canada. Third, the show is offered in three bookable formats (solo with tracks, with live band, or with full orchestra), making it adaptable to virtually any venue from intimate listening rooms to symphony pops engagements.
The solo-with-tracks format is the most flexible, with David performing all live vocals over professional backing tracks, ideal for intimate listening rooms, charity galas, corporate receptions, and private events. The live-band format expands the show with a full backing band, ideal for performing arts centers, casino showrooms, and ticketed theaters. The orchestra format is the full production-scale show with full orchestral accompaniment including electric piano, piano synth-strings, drums, guitar, bass, trumpet, and lead tenor/alto saxophone, purpose-built for symphony pops engagements, major performing arts centers, and large galas. The format is selected during booking based on your venue, audience, and budget.
