Robert Peter Williams was born on 13 February 1974 in Stoke-on-Trent. He is a Grammy Award-nominated and multi BRIT Award-winning British singer-songwriter. His career started as a dancer and singer of the pop band Take That in 1990, which he left in 1995 to launch his solo career.

Robbie Williams as a solo artist has sold more albums in the United Kingdom than any other British solo artist in history and has won more BRIT Awards than any other artist to date.[1] His album sales stands at over 55 million worldwide.[2]

Williams entered in the The Guinness Book of World Records when he announced his World Tour for 2006, selling 1.6 million tickets in one single day. He has been the recipient of many awards, including ten BRIT and six ECHO awards. In 2004, he was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame, after being voted as the Greatest artist of the 1990s. He appears in the list of the all-time Top 100 biggest selling albums in the United Kingdom six times. It is also estimated he is currently the best selling non-Latino artist in Latin America at the moment with over 3 million sold. Despite Williams' immense popularity worldwide, he has still yet to become a major chart or concert success in the United States. He is planning to begin the recording sessions in March and that the new album will be released in late-2009.

Williams, who has amassed a fortune estimated at more than £90 million since he left Take That, announced in December 2008 he is planning to relocate to the UK prior to releasing his eighth studio album in mid-2009 and a possible reunion with Take That. Photos also showed Williams with his new tattoo of the Take That logo on his right arm, in tribute to his former bandmates.
