Robin Mordecai

 Robin Mordecai is a songwriting multi-instrumentalist embracing whatever genre inspires him on any given day.  Unlike many songwriters, he doesn’t write in volume.  When the ideas come, they swim through his head as completely produced pieces and he labors painstakingly to get it out just has he hears it.  The result is a smaller but super quality catalogue.
 

Robin is not into social media much (he’s trying).  He’d rather talk to you in person.  He is a Star Wars nerd and could also go head to head with any one in a music trivia face-off.   
 

An Austin native, he started his musical life in his seventh year with piano lessons he continued until the age of 14.  That's when his drumming kicked into gear.  He joined the  Lake Travis Jazz Ensemble his sophomore year in high school and played in various pit orchestras for theater companies in Georgetown and the surrounding hill country honing his reading chops.  He formed his first band in 2005, another one in 2007 then again in 2009.   In 2012 he moved to Los Angeles but when a music biz person asked him where he was from and he said Austin, they asked him, “what the hell are you doing here then?  Austin is where it's at!”  He gladly packed up and came home.

Fast Forward to 2015, after playing the side guy for years, Robin was ready to get more of his own music out so he took what he’d learned and produced his own EP, “Here Goes Something” on Fable Records. He launched the project with a show at the iconic Threadgills World Headquarters.

Songwriting collaboration opportunities emerged and he jumped at them.  Writing and recording with guitarist Andy MacIntyre produced his single “Heartbreak”.  

By 2021 Robin was finally able to finish his next EP which he titled "Portraits" and released it in its entirety in April of 2022 which includes "Caroline", a co-write with Jeff Plankenhorn.

Now in 2025 he’ll be releasing new singles, sharing new live performances and more surprises!
Robin has been featured on KUTX and has made guest appearances on KOOP Radio, Wimberley Valley Radio and SunRadio’s Bridge Radio.
