The Reverend Rob Mortimer

Rob Mortimer is a Singer-Songwriter, BMI Recording Artist, and Undertaker from the Mississippi Delta. Rob was born and raised in the Delta. His first instrument was his voice, singing Little Richard and Elvis tunes all throughout the house and a kid. He begged his parents for a guitar, starting around 10 years old. At 13, his Aunt Odell bought him his first guitar. After football, soccer, and baseball practice he went strait to his room to teach himself to play guitar. As a late teen, Rob developed working relationships with local blues artist; who would let him on stage to play guitar and sing with them. He began writing songs early on, because he couldn't play guitar well enough to cover other peoples songs.

He made an appearance on American Idol in 2006 and 2009.
