Robert W. Walker is a Grammy-nominated Writer/Director/Editor whose range of experience has tied his name to the names of music legends -- from Shakira to Sophia Loren, Sting to Gloria Estefan. From entertainment to advertising, Walker's experience makes him one of the most qualified creative forces in the world today. His 15 years as broadcast director for one of the country's largest, most prolific advertising agencies produced hundreds regional and national commercials. As owner of a world-class recording studio, and partner in a high-energy creative production company, he has been a creator of all things visual/aural: memorable spot campaigns, music videos, big-impact sales films, infomercials, documentaries, and television shows and specials.
Walker began his media career while still in high school, when he landed a job as the youngest on-air personality ever on the #1-rated radio station in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Within a year, while his radio show attracted incredible ratings, and at only 17 years of age, he was off on a lifelong odyssey in the entertainment and media design business. He is responsible for launching and programming top radio stations in major markets for over 25 years.
Worldwide recognition of his talents has been prolific: he shared with his partner, Mo Fitzgibbon, in Walker/Fitzgibbon TV & Films the prestigious National Council of La Raza (NCLR) Bravo Award for "Outstanding Made-for-Television Documentary" for their work on the biopic Lifetime Television: Intimate Portrait: Gloria Estefan. The duo won the New York Festival's WorldMedal for their work on Gloria Estefan's classic music video and official visual theme for 1996 Summer Olympics on NBC "Reach."
NARAS -- the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, with which Walker has been associated since his early days -- nominated Walker for a Grammy Award in 1999, for his creative direction and production work on Gloria Estefan¹s worldwide DVD release entitled Don't Stop.
Walker reflects on his record to date: "Awards, peer recognition, happy clients -- these are glittering highlights in a career whose personal value to me is its ability to satisfy an extreme creative urge that has driven me since childhood, and blessed me with a fulfilling way to add to this world some measure of beauty, fun, knowledge or, at the very least, amusement of a sort, all the while providing for my family."
