Robert Mizzell was raised on the shores of Lake Bistineau near Shreveport. Robert's early musical influences came from his parents who both performed in a Church Gospel group and later they played the bars and lounges in and around Shreveport. When he was 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.
Robert has made Ireland his home for more than 20 years. He served his apprenticeship in country music since he first arrived there and is now one of the top country artists in Ireland, his popularity spreading with extensive airplay into Europe and to such distant territories as Australia.
A Tommy Swarbrigg composition Kick Ass Country was Robert's first major hit, making him a household name in Ireland. Say You Love Me is a song synonymous with Robert, and its popularity dictates that it is requested at all his shows.
Robert's first four albums were entitled Hello Mr. DJ; Louisiana Man; Looking Lucky; and Waltzing With Me, which included the hit single Who's Gonna Dance With Sally Ann. Looking Lucky (the American release entitled Place Beyond The Sun) was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee and contained all original country songs written by American and Irish songwriters. His fifth studio album entitled Thanks A Lot was released in February 2008. In March 2009 Robert released a compilation C.D. entitled The Louisiana Man – The Hits which featured all the tracks from his best selling DVD of the same name and was released at the end of 2008. The DVD was shot partly in Ireland and at locations in Kentucky in the United States.
In April 2010 Robert released his sixth studio album, a 15-track C.D. entitled Redneck Man. Among the tracks on this album are his hit single Mama Courtney, especially written for him and Murder On Music Row, a duet with top American country artist Collin Raye, that reached the number one position on the ECMC during March 2010 and remained there for three weeks. Mama Courtney was also released in Europe where it spent twenty weeks on the ECMC, including five weeks at number one.
During 2011 Robert's 7th album, Mama's Rocking Chair, was released, included on this CD were his two very successful singles, I Ain't Fallin' For That and Cajun Dance.
Songs like Dance With My Father and Home exemplify Robert's talent as an interpreter of songs. They come from a different genre but Robert instinctively imbues them with a country feel making them appear native to the country genre.
Listed among Robert's most requested songs are Say You Love Me, Thanks A Lot, Who's Gonna Dance With Sally Ann, and Mama Courtney.
