One of CBC Searchlights top 100 artists in 2022 and 2023, Robin Cisek, is a Metis Artist from Edmonton who creates atmospheric, synth-driven pop with a dark, edgy twist. Cisek’s style echoes the emotionally charged pop of BANKS and Mothica, the tonality of Cloudy June paired with vocal tones reminiscent of Tones and I. The Indigenous Superstar's 2022, "Best Emerging Artist," rose into her music career after years of struggles with health challenges.
In 2021, Cisek released her debut album, Delicate Minds, a concept album about mental health. "Memories", a song from the album garnered over 26,000 views on Youtube and received awards from a number of film festivals including an Award of Merit from INDIEfest Film Awards, Best Music Video from the Edmonton Short Film Awards and more. "Memories" was also an official selection of ImagineNATIVE and the featured film in their The BEAT party.
Her most recent single, "Hey Disaster" charted on the Mediabase Activator Hot AC at #54 and CHR radio charts at #47 on US Radio. Robin Cisek's "Zeus" charted at #2 on the NCI's Indigenous Music Countdown making this her 6th time charting on the IMC including a number one for "Waiting on You" in 2019. Cisek and her music have been published internationally with articles in Illistrate Magazine (USA), York Calling (UK), Outloud Culture (Canada), a feature in Canadian Musician Magazine and many others.
Robin Cisek performs as a solo act and her most notable performances include a Headling spot at the NMC CIBC Summer Series Concerts, opening for LA’s Starcrawler, Calgary Pride, Canadian Music Week 2023 and Long Day’s night festival where she opened for WCMA Pop Artist of the Year, Begonia.
