Robert recorded his debut album Won't Settle Down in Nashville with producer Kenny Royster (known for his work with Luke Combs) — and even played the legendary Bluebird Café twice, a moment every songwriter dreams of.
In the spring of 2025 came the Drinkin' Song Radio Tour: a run of small, local radio stations across Kentucky (WJSN in Jackson), Pennsylvania (WBUT in Butler and WFGE in State College), West Virginia (WELD-FM in Fisher), and several other states — the kind of stations that stay close to their listeners, exactly the way country music is supposed to sound.
October 2025 brought a highlight: a nomination for the Texas Sounds International Country Music Awards Festival in Marshall, Texas. Robert didn't win, but calls it an incredible experience.
By June 2026 he was back in the US, with the Life's A Beach Radio Tour through Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia, plus shows in Nashville itself — at The Nashville Palace and Scoreboard Bar & Grill, alongside American country artist James Carothers. From small Dutch cafés to radio studios in the American South — proof that a good country story carries everywhere.
