Robyn Ottolini makes music that will either piss you off or make you fall in love with her. Maybe a little of both. Whether she’s cursing or calling out a cheating ex, if it needs saying, Robyn is the one to say it.
Long before Robyn’s career took off in 2020 — in the middle of a global pandemic, no less — with the viral TikTok hit “F-150,” she was pretending to be the next Faith Hill or Shania Twain in the front seat of her dad’s pickup truck. Growing up in small-town Uxbridge, just outside of Toronto, Robyn was raised on country music. Something about the honest, lived-in stories that permeate country music at its core made Robyn feel like she'd found the right gravel road to travel down. A vehicle for her own honest, lived-in stories, before she even had a license. She’s treated songwriting like a diary since writing her first song at 13, resulting in an emotional rawness that’s both cheeky and captivating.
In those early formative years of songwriting, Kacey Musgraves released her debut single, “Merry Go Round,” introducing a fresh dose of audacity to the country genre that resonated with Robyn. “I remember thinking, ‘This is the kind of songwriter I’m going to be!’” she says. A few years later as Robyn was making a name for herself around her hometown, Maren Morris’ “My Church” echoed Kacey’s fearlessness, and Robyn knew there was a place for her in country music. Her first fully produced EP, 2019’s “Classic”, featured a song called “FCKBOY” and a track with a fake orgasm, “Him Problem”. Kacey and Maren had opened a door for Robyn and she ran through it. Audacity fully intact.
That honesty rang loud and clear on “F-150,” a massive viral Tik Tok hit about an ex that still haunts you whenever a — you guessed it — Ford F-150 passes. By the final chorus, though, Robyn has fully moved on, “When I see an F-150 / I’ll take back what it took from me” she sings in the closing lines. While the song has been a heartbreak healer for listeners everywhere, there's proof that heartbreak connects. F-150 hit No. 4 on the Spotify US Viral 50 chart and No. 3 on Rolling Stone’s all-genre Trending 25 chart. Not a bad way to remind your ex who gets the last laugh.
Robyn took her raw, honest style and applied it to deeply personal songs like 'Trust Issues', 'Tell You Everything' and 'Say It'. She released an EP, hit the road, and watched her songs connect with fans across North America and Europe. From Bonnaroo to Boots and Hearts, she poured her heart and soul into connecting with her audience.
With over 100 million global streams, a devoted and growing social media following, and a full plate of upcoming summer shows, Robyn's fans are part of her journey every step of the way. They see themselves in her lyrics. She writes for people like her, because that's who she knows best.
Robyn stepped into 2023 with intention on the song 'Five Years'. A self reflective look at happiness and being ok without a five year plan. It's the kind of song that feels heavy and hopeful at the same time. It's a mix Robyn crafts well. 'Five Years' set the table for a huge artistic step in Robyn's career. The rest of 2023 saw a series of singles and an EP scheduled for release, as well as opening slots on the Shania Twain 'Queen Of Me' Tour and festival dates across Canada and the USA. This kind of business is good when the work truly means something.
