The entertainment industry was rocked by the news of the tragic deaths of Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca. Robin, who had been the music supervisor for “American Idol” for two decades, and her husband were found dead in their Encino home. Both victims, aged 70, were discovered with gunshot wounds, leading to speculation of a double homicide.
Law enforcement officials were called to the scene after concerns were raised about the couple’s well-being. The LAPD confirmed the grim discovery of the two individuals, but their identities have not been officially released.

Subsequent calls from worried relatives eventually led to the heartbreaking discovery of the couple’s fate.
While the community reels from the shocking news, authorities have assured residents that there is no immediate threat to public safety. The couple’s upscale home on White Oak Avenue, purchased in 2023, serves as a backdrop to the tragedy that has befallen them.
Robin Kaye’s illustrious career in music supervision extended beyond “American Idol,” encompassing projects like the NAACP Image Awards and “Lip Sync Battle.” Her contributions to the industry were celebrated, earning her a place as vice president of the Guild of Music Supervisors. A 2019 feature in Variety underscored her talent and dedication to her craft, showcasing her as one of the “music supervisors to watch.”
Her husband, Thomas Deluca, was a talented songwriter and musician, adding another layer of tragedy to the untimely deaths of the couple. As the investigation continues and details emerge, the entertainment world mourns the loss of two beloved figures, leaving a void that will be hard to fill.
