Rob spent three years as front man for the Mega Men, eventually becoming one of the most successful pub bands in Melbourne with packed houses at every gig. In 2003, Rob auditioned for Australian Idol . He found himself into the Top 12, on what became the highest rating TV show in history. He was signed to BMG shortly after the Idol Tour and his first single, Ms. Vanity debuted at #6 on the Australian charts, reaching Gold status. His debut album Up All Night was released in June 2004, featuring seven co-written tracks.
Rob embarked on an east coast tour playing to his many fans from Cairns to Melbourne in August and September followed by various performances around town including the Channel 9 AFL Grand Final Breakfast and Carols by Candlelight . In 2005 Rob was host of a brand new TV show called STOOGED for Network Ten. GREASE - The Arena Spectacular was yet another chapter for the many talents of Rob Mills, taking to the stage as the pop star idol "JOHNNY CASINO" Rob delighted audiences around Australia throughout May and June 2005.
After a backpacking trip around Europe in 2006, Rob is back, older, a bit wiser and already on the go with various corporate and music gigs including the lead role of Claude in the Perth production of HAIR in May 2007.
Rob is currently playing his jazz show ROBBED around the country, a night of great contemporary jazz covers and great new arrangements of his own original tracks from his debut album. He joined Channel 9 in June as a host of the late night game show THE MINT... a lot of fun, lots of money to give away and just his hours.
