The Robotix
}}Logan “Robot” Gladden (born December 5, 2003) is an American musician.[1][2] He is the drummer, vocalist, piano player, and founding member of The Robotix, an all-kids rock band with members from Texas, California, and Japan.[3][4][5] He lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with his parents and sister.[1][6]

Early life

Gladden was born in Fort Worth, Texas.[2] He began playing the drums when he was only 18 months old.[1][2] His nickname, “Robot,” stems from his earliest pronunciations of the name Logan and stayed with him when he decided that Robot was a “cooler” drummer name than Logan.[1][6] Gladden cites numerous classic rock bands as his influences, including KISS, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Beatles, and Alice Cooper.[5] A self-taught drummer, he began taking lessons at the age of seven.[1][7]

Career

Gladden began his music career as an internet sensation.[1] He and several other young musicians formed a junior all-star band, at a school in Southlake, Texas, called For Those About to Rock School.[8] The young group opened for Rick Springfield and Spin Doctors at Liberty Fest near Dallas in May 2011.[2][8]

The Robotix

In 2012, the group began to search for a new lead singer and a lead guitarist.[8] They added 11-year-old Angelina Baez from Los Angeles, California as lead vocalist and 12-year-old Yuto Miyazawa from Tokyo, Japan. Yuto had already appeared twice on The Ellen Show and had toured with Ozzy Osbourne as lead guitarist.[3][8] The group, now renamed, The Robotix, released a five-song EP co-written and produced by drummer Aaron Sterling called Rock ‘n Roll on December 4, 2012 via iTunes.[1][3][8] The EP includes three original tracks and two classic rock covers.[3][4][8] Members of The Robotix have been featured on The Ellen Show, Good Morning Texas, Conan O'Brien's television show, Barney and Friends, and in Chuck E. Cheese restaurants.[3][5][8] The band was named as a Top 60 Finalist on America's Got Talent (Season 8).[9]

Solo work

Gladden appeared at the 2011 KISS Expo in Indianapolis, IN, signing autographs alongside KISS drummer Eric Singer and performing “Black Diamond” with KISS tribute band Mr. Speed.[10][11] He has made several guest appearances with other bands.[7] In 2009, Barney and Friends aired several episodes featuring Robot Gladden (then age 5) as a rock and jazz drummer – the episodes remain in rotation worldwide.[1] At age seven, he became one of the youngest artists ever endorsed by Pearl Drums and one of the youngest radio personalities ever to host his own show, "Robot's Rock Block."[1][2][8] Also at age seven, Robot Gladden was a featured artist in the Chuck E. Cheese in-store video entertainment series, which aired hourly in Chuck E. Cheese restaurants nationwide during the spring of 2011.[1][2][8]

Personal life

Gladden has not left his home without a pair of drumsticks since he was two years old.[1] He considers himself "cool friends" with KISS drummer Eric Singer, a major musical influence of Gladden's.[1] Media and television personalities often refer to Robot Gladden as "rock and roll’s answer to Justin Bieber."[2][6][12]
