Robin Alan Thicke (born March 10, 1977)[2] is an American singer, songwriter and record producer. He is best known for his 2013 single "Blurred Lines" (featuring T.I. and Pharrell Williams), which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100, received diamond certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and remains one of the best-selling singles of all time.[3][4] At the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, it received nominations for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

Thicke is a son of actress Gloria Loring and actor Alan Thicke. Prior to pursuing his recording career, he was discovered by R&B singer Brian McKnight, for whom he produced and co-wrote several songs. He was led to do so for other R&B acts such as Brandy Norwood, Color Me Badd, Brownstone, 3T, Chanté Moore, and Kevon Edmonds; his work led him to sign with Interscope Records at the age of 16. The label released his blue-eyed soul-inspired debut studio album, A Beautiful World (2001), which was commercially unsuccessful. He then signed with Pharrell Williams' Star Trak Entertainment in 2005 to release his second album, The Evolution of Robin Thicke (2006). It debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 and spawned his breakout single, "Lost Without U", which peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.

His third album, Something Else (2007), peaked at number three on the Billboard 200, and was preceded by the moderate hit song "Magic". His fourth, Sex Therapy: The Session (2008), peaked at number nine and spawned the single "Sex Therapy", while his fifth, Love After War (2011), peaked at number 22. His sixth album, Blurred Lines (2013) was preceded by the single of the same name, and debuted atop both the Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart despite mixed critical reception. Since 2019, Thicke has been a panelist on the Fox musical competition show The Masked Singer.
