Heartthrob ROBB

HeartThrob Robb, known offstage as Rob Antonio Zumaya, is a Mexican American rapper and gay activist hailing from San Diego, CA. From a young age, Robb exhibited a creative eye and excelled in various art forms. Although music was always a personal outlet for him, he never considered pursuing it as a career. However, after experiencing the tragic loss of his mother in 2011, Robb hit a turning point in his life. Determined to honor his mother's memory, he poured his emotions into his music and released his first solo effort, the critically acclaimed mixtape "Meat." This 18-track project garnered praise from a multitude of media outlets, establishing Robb's presence in the industry.

Building on the success of his debut mixtape, Robb followed up with his debut EP, "Eleven Eleven." Breaking free from the stereotypes and limitations of contemporary hip-hop, Robb shattered the heteronormative ideals that have dominated the rap community. His unapologetic and thought-provoking single, "WHATS YOUR LYFE LYKE?," challenges societal norms and asserts his right to live life on his own terms. The versatility and lyrical prowess displayed in this track hint at Robb's potential for crossover success. However, it was his captivating music video for his summer single, "Whats Your Lyfe Lyke?," released in 2019, that propelled him into the mainstream. The single received recognition from prestigious platforms such as Billboard, Logo, and Pop Line, earning him a spot on multiple editorial playlists on Spotify.

Continuing to push boundaries, Robb recently released "Lose Ya Mind," a vibrant Caribbean dance tune featuring Solomon Ray and Flykingi. With a string of successful releases under his belt, Robb is currently working on new music and has plans to release a full-length EP in 2024. Additionally, he will be featured in an upcoming documentary that chronicles the contributions of queer artists in the often homophobic genre of hip-hop.

HeartThrob Robb fearlessly strips away the veneer and lays it all out on the table, challenging preconceived notions and redefining the prototype of "Out" Hip-Hop. He is unafraid to represent himself authentically and believes that it is time for change in rap music. As the genre embraces diversity in all its forms, Robb emerges as the artist to further propel this movement. His unwavering commitment to his craft and his dedication to representing the LGBTQ+ community make him a powerful force in the industry
