Robin Thicke is a five-time Grammy® Award nominee, diamond-selling performer, actor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Born in Los Angeles, Robin Thicke taught himself to play piano at the age of 12 and by 16 was writing and producing songs for top R&B artists. At the age of 21, he had written and produced songs on over 20 gold and platinum albums, including Michael Jackson, Marc Anthony, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, and others. One year later, he signed with Jimmy Iovine and Interscope Records.
The musician and composer released his critically acclaimed debut album, A Beautiful World, in 2003 under the name Thicke. The collection was followed by a succession of five critically acclaimed gold and platinum selling album releases. Robin’s sixth studio album, Blurred Lines, was released in July of 2013. The album garnered three Grammy nominations, crashed the Billboard Top 200 at #1, and produced the RIAA Diamond-certified title track, “Blurred Lines” [feat. T.I. & Pharrell]. The song made history, clutching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 weeks. The hit single garnered Thicke as the first artist to simultaneously occupy the #1 spot on the Hot 100 and Top 200 since 2012, putting him in an elite group of 17 other acts to accomplish this feat in the previous decade. “Blurred Lines” scored the highest audience ever recorded and broke records by climbing to #1 on 5 radio charts simultaneously (Top 40, Rhythm, Urban, Hot AC & Urban AC) –the first time this has ever been done by an artist.
In 2021, Thicke ascended to new heights with his first studio album in six years – On Earth, and in Heaven – a nod to the loss and celebrations and growth through the years. The album includes the No. 1 single on the Billboard Album R&B Songs Chart, “That’s What Love Can Do,” as well as a new Pharrell collaboration with “Take Me Higher,” which was featured as the ESPN/ABC Primetime song for the NBA season. His single “Look Easy” claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Adult R&B Chart, which marked the first time Thicke has generated multiple No. 1s from one album.
Alongside his music accomplishments, Thicke is part of the dynamic panel of judges on FOX’s hit reality singing competition, “The Masked Singer,” alongside Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Rita Ora and show host Nick Cannon. The show recently wrapped its 14th season and has received tremendous ratings success and critical acclaim.
