Early Life and Education
Born in Los Angeles, California, Robin is the son of actress-singer Gloria Loring and Canadian actor-songwriter Alan Thicke, known for his role on Growing Pains and composing TV theme songs such as Diff’rent Strokes.
After his parents divorced when he was seven, Robin was raised alongside his older brother Brennan and younger half-brother Carter.
Immersed in a creative household, he was encouraged by his father to explore music, receiving early guidance in songwriting. As a child, Robin also appeared in minor television roles.
His musical journey began early, with jazz singer Al Jarreau supporting his vocal demo, which eventually led to mentorship from R&B artist Brian McKnight. This connection helped Robin secure a recording deal with Interscope Records at just 16 years old.

He followed up with albums like Something Else (2007), Sex Therapy: The Session (2008), and Love After War (2011), which met with moderate success.
His sixth album, Blurred Lines (2013), debuted at number one in the US and UK, largely driven by the viral title track, despite its controversy. Thicke has also appeared as a judge on the Fox show The Masked Singer.
