Early Life

Before his career as a singer-songwriter took off, Thicke had written "Love Is On My Side" on Brandy's self-titled album and a number of songs for 3T's "Sexual Attention", collaborating with Jordan Knight, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on several songs in Knight's 1999 album Jordan Knight.

As an artist, he recorded and performed solely under his surname, Thicke. He would continue to do so until 2005.

Career as a Songwriter and Producer

Thicke began his songwriting career by writing hits for popular artists, like co-writing and producing the Color Me Badd hit "Sexual Capacity" in 1996. The Thicke original "When I Get You Alone" was performed by  Guy Sebastian, the winner of the first Australian Idol 2003! This was during the competition and at the Idol Grand Final. "When I Get You Alone" was a popular song choice for Sebastian; he put the live idol performance on his four-times platinum debut single "Angels Brought Me Here"; it was the fastest selling single in Australia debuting at #1 and immediately breaking an Aria record. In 2004, Thicke produced and co-wrote with Guy Sebastian, the #1 Hit "Out With My Baby" from Sebastian's second album, Beautiful Life. He was involved in three tracks on Beautiful Life. Other songs Thicke contributed to on the album include "Fiend for You"(co-written with Sebastian) and "How", a Robin Thicke original included on the track listing. During this same year, he wrote a song with the singer and actress Raven-Symoné for the album This Is My Time, with the song "Set Me Free".

In April 2007, Thicke co-wrote a song with singer/songwriter Angela Via called "Wrong for You" which was a single from Via's forthcoming album. In the following year, he was enlisted by producer Polow da Don to play piano on the Usher track, "Love in This Club". At the 2009 Grammy Awards, Thicke was most recently recognized for his work on Lil Wayne’s sixth studio album Tha Carter III, as well as Jennifer Hudson’s self titled debut album.
