来自加州的全方位创作白人歌手Robin，自小在娱乐圈环境下长大，母亲是著名歌手/演员Gloria Loring，父亲则是著名电视演员Alan Thicke。跟随父母脚步的Robin在12-3岁期间客串演出戏剧节目，但总觉得这不是他想追求的未来；接著转战音乐领域，以16岁年纪签入附属 Interscope旗下之Nu America Records厂牌，优异的创作才华广及多方领域，乐坛数一数二畅销歌手如：亚瑟小子、克莉丝汀、马克安东尼、白兰蒂、美雅、布莱恩麦肯奈特、罗南…等人，都唱过他的歌。2002年个人专辑《Cherry Blue Skies》，首支取样Walter Murphy 1976年全美流行榜冠军曲＜A Fifth Of Beethoven＞，改编贝多芬第五号命运交响曲，顿时吸引全球乐迷注意，登上澳洲Top17+比利时Top15+意大利Top15+新西兰Top8+ 荷兰Top5位置，翌年更改专辑名称《A Beautiful World》并加收歌曲重新问世，於全美卖出近六万张销售成绩。
2005年结束帮威尔史密斯畅销单曲＜Switch＞混音的工作后，Robin转籍Star Trak旗下筹备第二张专辑《The Evolution Of Robin Thicke》，除了亲自负责大部份词曲创作与制作，还邀请Pro-Jay(风尚乐团、亚瑟小子、克莉丝汀)助阵操盘。首支单曲＜Wanna Love U Girl＞交由当红超级组合The Neptunes (布兰妮、贾斯汀、史奴比狗狗)操刀，灵魂放克声频穿绕其中，介於史提夫汪达与杰米罗奎尔的音线触感，加上菲董饶舌片段谱入，是首热闹愉悦的首选佳作；请来90年代节奏蓝调第一夫人Faith Evans美声合唱开场曲＜Got 2 Be Down＞，默契十足的合唱迭音与Robin真假音漂亮转换，一首灵韵浓厚的动人之作；曾在纽奥良饶舌团体Hot Boys展现天赋的Lil’ Wayne，在＜All Night Long＞一曲中发挥派对男孩能事，挑起舞动感正点节拍；＜Everything I Can’t Have＞燃烧拉丁爵士鼓动气氛，营造出一场小型嘉年华会音场，并惊艳於Robin优游旋律中的曼妙佳音。

Singer/songwriter Robin Thicke was one of the few to define the new millennium's blue-eyed soul movement. His creamy California skin and sapphire blue eyes were equally charming, but Thicke has merit. He has a soulful disposition similar to Remy Shand, but mix that with the funk of Jamiroquai and you have Thicke's sultry R&B sound. As the son of vocalist Gloria Loring and Growing Pains' Alan Thicke, Thicke grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles during the '80s and '90s. He credits his dad's musical tastes, for it was he who motivated Thicke to immerse himself in all kinds of pop music. The elder Thicke is popular for writing the theme songs for The Facts of Life and Diff'rent Strokes, so naturally Thicke had his head in music. He was an average student; by 13, he was writing songs. Three years later, he befriended the president of Bad Boy Entertainment, André Harrell, and struck a deal with Interscope. Thicke began writing hits for the likes of Christina Aguilera, Mya, Brandy, Marc Anthony, and Jordan Knight Still, an artist in the making was dying for his own chance. By 2000, Thicke, who was in his mid-twenties, made his dream come true. Thicke issued his debut album, Cherry Blue Skies, in fall 2002. It was later retitled Beautiful World and prepped for a massive media push the following spring. Two years later, Pharrell Williams joined Thicke for the recording of "Wanna Love You Girl." Their collaboration also led Thicke to a contract with Williams' own imprint, Star Trak Records. Thicke's sophomore album, The Evolution of Robin Thicke, arrived on the label in late 2006. Certified platinum by the RIAA in March 2007, the album made to number five on The Billboard 200 while topping their Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
