Robbie Harte is a New York-based, Award-Winning International Country Music recording artist, originally from Montreal, Canada. Known for her warm, rich vocals and emotional delivery, she has been described by fans as compelling, inspirational, and powerful. Harte uses her inner strength and femininity to create music that connects and builds confidence in the listener. Her autobiographical stories often tell of overcoming adversity, turning her experiences into messages of hope that resonate with people everywhere.
As a young girl, Robbie always dreamed of being a professional singer. But that dream was put on hold fifteen years ago after a life-changing injury left her with chronic pain, and also resulted in the loss of her ability to sing. Ultimately however, it was music that helped her heal the most. She credits music for soothing her soul and giving her the strength and determination to push through, even during the most difficult of times. It was music that gave Robbie a voice, which she is determined to use to uplift and inspire others.
In 2017, Robbie was compelled to follow her dream to sing, no matter how difficult it may be. She was inspired and motivated by the desire to show her young daughter that a disability should never stop her from chasing her dreams.
Following an incredible journey over the past five years, Robbie Harte put a stamp on the country music scene with the release of her single ’17’ in 2020 after deciding to follow her dream of becoming a professional singer/songwriter. Since then, she has hit the number 1 spot numerous times, has been nominated for multiple Josie Music Awards, and in 2022, won 2 ISSA Awards.
In 2023, she garnered three Josie Music Award nominations and five Who’s Who Country Music Award nominations, and Robbie’s song “Reason to Rise” won Social Stars Award for “Best Original Song”. Additionally, in 2024, Robbie was nominated for the Red Carpet Awards Show in Holland and has received five Josie Music Award nominations, including “Rising Star – Country.”
Robbie Harte has performed live acoustic sets across New York, including The Bitter End and the Horizon Stage at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts (Woodstock). She has also played her original music in Nashville, Atlanta, London, and in her hometown of Montreal.
