At the age of 17, Robert moved to Connecticut where he worked with his father in the painting and decorating business. He then joined the US Army where he served for a number of years. After his military service he moved to Ireland with dreams of a career in country music.
‘Kick Ass Country’ was Robert’s first major hit, but it was the song ‘Say You Love Me’ that made him a household name in Ireland. More of his hit songs include ‘Mama Courtney’, Two Rooms and a Kitchen, The Farmer,, ‘John Deer Beer’, ‘Louisiana Saturday Night’ and Say You Love Me to name a few…
Robert has recorded many songs in his career, but two of the highlights were in 2010 when he released a very personal, original song, written for him by Henry McMahon namely ‘Mama Courtney’. This tells the story of his upbringing in Shreveport by his Foster Mother. He also recorded a cover of ‘Murder on Music Row’ with top American Country Artist, Collin Raye. Both singles reached the number one position on the European Country music charts during 2010 and remained in the charts for twenty weeks.
