Robin Cisek is a Métis alt-pop artist from Edmonton known for her edgy, atmospheric, synth-driven pop and commanding vocal presence. Her performances are elevated by her soaring notes, articulation, and vocal control with tones reminiscent of the artist, Tones and I. Paired with her introspective lyrics, Robin carves out a unique space in alt-pop, evoking the atmospheric pop of BANKS and the edgy pop of Halsey.
A two-time top 100 finalist in CBC Music’s Searchlight (2022 & 2023) and a recipient of the 2022 “Best Emerging Artist” award at the Indigenous Superstars Music Awards. After years of navigating health challenges, she found resilience through music.
In May 2025, Robin released her self-produced sophomore album, Tempered. The record, written, recorded and mostly produced by Cisek herself, receives international radio play and has granted Cisek a newfound musical independence. The project led to high-profile interviews with CP24, Global Morning Toronto, APTN, CBC and more.
Cisek’s previous singles have made waves on both Indigenous and mainstream charts. Her 2022 single, Hey Disaster, charted on U.S. Mediabase Hot AC and CHR radio, while her track Goin' in Blind from her Tempered album, reached #1 on the Indigenous Music Countdown—her seventh time charting on the IMC, including her first #1 spot for Waiting on You in 2019. Cisek and her music have been featured on CP24, The Global Morning Show, Stingray, APTN, CBC, CTV, and more.
Her 2021 debut album, Delicate Minds, a concept album focused on mental health, featured the song “Memories,” which earned over 27,000 views on YouTube and garnered awards from numerous film festivals. These awards included Best Music Video at the Edmonton Short Film Festival and an Award of Merit from the IndieFEST Film Awards. “Memories” was also selected to be shown at ImagineNATIVE.
As a live performer, Robin Cisek commands the stage with emotional intensity and stunning vocal control. Career highlights include headlining the NMC CIBC Summer Series, performing at the 25th Anniversary imagineNATIVE BEAT party, opening for Starcrawler (LA), and showcasing at Canadian Music Week 2023, Calgary Pride, and the Long Day’s Night Festival, where she opened for WCMA Pop Artist of the Year, Begonia.
