A Creative Rebirth

In 2006, Robert met his wife, Elizabeth, whose encouragement shifted his focus from the technical booth back to the songwriter’s chair. This spark led to the 2007 album Everyday, with its title track earning him yet another Billboard accolade.

After a decade of life-changing milestones—moving to the Hamptons, welcoming his daughter Vivi in 2012, and eventually settling in Newburyport, Massachusetts—Robert found a new creative home and a legendary collaborator in Joe Holaday (The Fools, BeetleJuice).

From Newburyport to the World

What started as a local collaboration grew into a prolific partnership, producing five acclaimed albums including TV and My Friend Chinese Food and Just See How It Goes. During this time, Robert’s sound found an unexpected and massive second life online. His track "You Broke Through" became a global viral sensation, embraced by millions of fans—particularly in Europe and Russian-speaking countries—who fell in love with his signature blend of "seasoned" charisma and upbeat, "aesthetic" indie-rock vibes.

New Release: Dystopian Blue Skies (April 2026)

In April 2026, Robert released his most ambitious project to date: Dystopian Blue Skies. Written and produced in the evolving landscape of the mid-2020s, the album captures the tension and beauty of the modern era. Featuring the masterful guitar work of Joe Holaday, the record delivers the infectious hooks that his global fanbase has come to adore while exploring deeper, more cinematic lyrical themes.

Today, Robert continues to write and record from his home in Newburyport, proving that authentic music knows no borders—whether it's born in a Greenwich Village club or shared through a screen across the globe.
