Pop singer, dancer, and creative powerhouse Robert Rene is making major waves once again with his latest single, “Color My Black & White.” The energetic track, paired with a visually stunning music video, has not only captivated fans across the globe but has also pushed Robert toward new milestones in his rising career. The video is now approaching 10 million views on YouTube, and the single recently hit #44 on Instagram’s Worldwide Trending list, marking a significant moment for the independent artist.

The single, a colorful celebration of identity, self-expression, and emotional vibrance, embodies everything fans have come to love about Robert Rene: bold visuals, infectious hooks, and dance-forward storytelling. The video for "Color My Black & White" is a visual feast, weaving slick choreography with striking cinematography and avant-garde fashion. The title itself suggests a narrative of transformation, and Robert delivers — both musically and personally.

A Star Born from Authenticity

Robert Rene, the pop artist hailing from Southern California, began turning heads in 2024 with a string of viral hits. But unlike many overnight sensations, Robert’s rise is rooted in authenticity, hard work, and a genuine connection with his audience. His music blends performance, vulnerability, and empowerment — especially as an openly queer artist and new father navigating both the music industry and family life.

“Color My Black & White” reflects this journey. “I wrote this song during a time when I was finally embracing all the parts of me — not just the ones that were easy to share,” Robert explains. The track stands as a metaphor for stepping into full color, unapologetically. It’s no surprise that the song resonates with so many — it’s not just catchy, it’s personal.

From Hip-Hop Classes to the Global Stage

Robert’s love for performance started young. Raised by a music-loving family, he was especially influenced by powerhouse performers like Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul, both of whom inspired his unique fusion of dance and pop vocals. At age 12, he began hip-hop dance classes, and by then, the dream was already forming.

As a songwriter, Robert took time to shape his voice and purpose. Coming out during high school was a turning point, giving him the freedom to write music that reflected his truth. That vulnerability became his superpower.

“I think people connect with me because I’m just being myself,” Robert says. That authenticity paid off when one of his 2024 singles hit one million streams in a single day. Since then, each release — from ballads to dance anthems — has expanded his reach and deepened his bond with fans.

Navigating the Industry Independently

Despite his soaring popularity, Robert remains independent — a rare feat in an industry often dominated by major labels. “The music industry is tough,” he says. “But I’ve learned that persistence and having the right people in your corner can move mountains.”

Juggling viral fame with the challenges of indie artistry hasn’t been easy, but it’s clear Robert’s grit is paying off. He continues to release self-directed visuals, collaborate with creatives on the rise, and engage with fans daily via platforms likeInstagram, where his community continues to grow.

Family, Fatherhood, and the Future

In 2024, Robert stepped into a new role — fatherhood. He and his partner Justin welcomed their daughter, Kylie, into the world, and she’s become a central source of inspiration. “She inspires me to be better and chase my dreams even harder,” Robert shares.

Balancing a high-profile music career with parenting hasn’t come without challenges, but Robert and Justin are committed to raising Kylie with love, creativity, and kindness. “I want her to grow up knowing that you can be both successful and kind — that your dreams are valid.”

With momentum building, Robert Rene is setting the stage for a dynamic 2025. He’s currently in the studio working on new music, planning performances, and hinting at a possible tour. His focus? Leaving behind a legacy that uplifts others.

“I want to be more than just a pop star. I want to be a voice for people who feel unseen. Representation matters,” he says. “The only person who can stop you is yourself.”

As “Color My Black & White” climbs toward 10 million views and Robert’s reach continues to expand, it’s clear that he’s not just coloring outside the lines — he’s redrawing them entirely.
