Robert Mizzell (born July 21, 1971 in Louisiana), has made his home in Ireland for almost a decade.[1] He served his apprenticeship in country music since he first arrived here and is now one of the top country artists in Ireland, his popularity spreading with extensive airplay in Europe and such distant territories as Australia. Mizzell tours with his band The Country Kings.

"Kick Ass Country" written by Tommy Swarbrigg was Mizzell’s first major hit. "Say You Love Me" is a song synonymous with Mizzell and it is requested at all his shows.

Mizzell’s first three albums were entitled Hello Mr. DJ, Louisiana Man, Looking Lucky. His last recording Waltzing With Me included the hit single "Who’s Gonna Dance With Sally Ann". Looking Lucky (the American release entitled Place Beyond The Sun) was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee and contained all original country songs written by Irish and American songwriters.

His song "Don't Wake Me Up ('Till We Touch Down in Shannon)" peaked at # 5 on the European country charts the week of 13 June 2007, according to the weekly charts from the European CMA covering all the European market. This song has been released by both the Hillcrest label (Canada) and Hotdisc (UK).

A promotional single entitled "A Friend In Need" was released in Ireland on 22 October 2007. The single was written by UK songwriter/performer Dave Sheriff. It was the first single to be taken from Mizzell's album Thanks A Lot.
