Biography
Robert Abigail was born and raised in Rotterdam (The Netherlands). There he started his successful DJ career at the age of 15 in a variety of different clubs.
In 2007–2008 he gained international fame by when one of his songs was used in a Bacardi rum commercial. His 2008 single, "Mojito Song", was well received from the commercial and was later released as an independent single which quickly went gold in Europe reaching number 20 on the Dutch Top 40 and up to number 2 in Ultratop, the Belgian (Vlaams) Singles Chart.
He has continued to cooperate with a number of acts most notably Belgian DJ Rebel and M.O. in many hits in the Netherlands and Belgium with "Merengue" by Robert Abigail and DJ Rebel featuring M.O. as a great follow-up in 2009 to "Mojito Song". Abigail also cooperated with The Gibson Brothers in two hits, "Cuba" and "Non Stop Dance".
