ABOUT

Robert aims to make smart music, plain and simple. He believes that music can be smart, catchy and also can teach listeners new things. He makes music that incorporates academic concepts from college that he states "he would never use otherwise." He hopes to empower the next generation of music and expose the idea of pursuing technology to as many people as he can. 

He is an American artist, composer, producer, programmer, techie and advocate. He overcame adversity growing up in Flint, Michigan in a poverty. He battled unsafe drinking water, bullying and homelessness, channeling that energy into making a better life for his family through education. His father, an Omani immigrant and mother, a Kentuckian, met at a 7/11 gas station. Robert embraces his African American and Middle Eastern roots reflecting that in his music calling himself a "black tech geek." 

His musical style spans across numerous genres from pop to dub step to funk. He describes his music as “tech geek pop” due to his love for infusing his lyrics with subtle references to academic concepts situated in technology. From R&B ballads to bass-heavy, dance floor anthems, he embeds his music with interesting puzzles that tests his listener’s ear and capacity to move their hips.  A jack-of-all-trades, Robert takes great pride in writing his lyrics, playing most of the instruments used in his work, constructing his instrumentals and producing his sound. He is one of the rare artists that creates all four levels of music.

He holds advanced degrees in Cyber Security and Computer Science.  He believes that music production and computer science are similar in that there are commonly accepted algorithmic rules, but those who "think outside-of-the-box" tend to excel. As time progresses, the name Robert Walker will be synonymous as the beginning  blurred lines of technology and pop music
