About Robin Thicke
Robin Alan Thicke was born on March 10, 1977 and is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, musician and actor with an estimated net worth of $20 million. Robin Thicke is the son of Canadian actor Alan Thicke and singer-actress Gloria Loring. As a pre-teen and teenager, he made a string of appearances on TV shows, but ultimately decided to pursue a career in music instead of acting. While still in his mid-to-late teens, he signed a record deal with Interscope Records subsidiary Nu America, headed by well-known music mogul Andre Harrell. Initially, he focused on songwriting, and crafted lyrics for several R&B; acts, including Brandy, Mya and Usher.
“My mom was the singer and my dad was the schmoozer. He’s the king of the schmooze.” — Robin Thicke
Born: Robin Charles Thicke on March 10, 1977; raised in the Los Angeles area.
Eventually, Thicke began to work on material for his own debut album. His debut album was going to be released under the title Cherry Blue Skies on Nu America/Interscope in October 2002.
However, eventually his label repackaged and released the album with new songs included under the title A Beautiful World in 2003. The woman who appears on the album’s cover is said to be his wife, the actress Paula Patton.
To date, A Beautiful World has still sold just 119,000 copies in the US, but has been a critical success. Rap artist Lil’ Wayne recorded a remake of Thicke’s song “Oh, Shooter” (retitled “Shooter”), which can be found on Wayne’s 2005 album, The Carter II. The two performed the song on “The Tonight Show” on Jan. 6, 2006.
Afterward, through word-of-mouth, it became a minor hit, with their performance on the show being spread via numerous Internet sites, thereby raising Thicke’s profile in the music world.
In 2005, hitmaker Pharell Williams (who’s half of the Neptunes production duo) took an interest in Thicke’s career and brought Thicke (now going by his full name, Robin Thicke) to the Star Trak imprint, which like Nu America, is an imprint of Interscope Records.
After many delays and pushbacks, Thicke’s second album, The Evolution of Robin Thicke, was released in October 2006. Thanks to the surprise hit ballad “Lost Without U,” the album became a success. Thicke’s third album, Something Else, dropped in September 2008 and established Thicke as a bona fide, respected R&B;/Soul artist who wasn’t a one-hit wonder.
Thicke released “Blurred Lines” featuring T.I. and Pharrell as the lead single to his sixth studio album, also titled Blurred Lines.
He appeared in BET’s hit show Real Husbands of Hollywood, along with Kevin Hart, Boris Kodjoe, Nelly, Duane Martin, J.B. Smoove, Nick Cannon, and Cynthia McWilliams.
Regarding his music experimentation, Robin said: “The last year I’ve been wanting to have more fun. I think I took myself very seriously as an artist and I wanted to be like Marvin Gaye, and John Lennon and Bob Marley and these great artists and songwriters that sang about love and sang about relationships”.
In February 2014, Thicke has collaborated with DJ Cassidy and British singer Jessie J to record Calling All Hearts. In January 2019, Thicke began appearing as a panelist on the reality competition series The Masked Singer. Thicke and producer Pharrell Williams reunited for the single “Take Me Higher”, released on January 21, 2021. As of 2023, Robin Thicke’s net worth is estimated to be $20 million.
