Tragic Loss of 'American Idol' Music Supervisor Robin Kaye Shakes Hollywood
It’s hard to even begin to process the devastating news coming out of Los Angeles this week. Robin Kaye, a beloved music supervisor known for her longtime work on "American Idol," and her husband Thomas Deluca were found dead in their Encino home in what authorities are calling a double homicide. It’s shocking, heartbreaking, and honestly, hard to believe.
Robin Kaye had been a vital part of the music television world for decades. Her contributions stretched far beyond just picking songs – she helped shape the sound and emotional tone of major shows like “American Idol,” “The Singing Bee,” and “Hollywood Game Night.” From her early work on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” back in the late '90s to her 15-year run with “American Idol,” Robin was a force behind the scenes who helped bring music to life on screen. Her peers and colleagues speak of her not just with admiration, but with genuine love and respect. “A cornerstone of the Idol family” is how the show’s producers described her, and that tells you everything.

But now, all of that brilliance and warmth has been cut short in the most violent and senseless way. Police were called to the couple’s home after a friend couldn’t reach them for days. Officers eventually forced their way in and discovered both Robin and Thomas, each suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
The suspect, 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian, was arrested and is now in custody. According to police, he had allegedly broken into the couple’s home on July 10, possibly thinking it was empty. Tragically, when Robin and Thomas returned, a confrontation ensued that ended with their lives being taken. The suspect was later identified through surveillance footage and forensic evidence, but as of now, there’s no known motive or any indication that he even knew the victims. That randomness makes this all the more terrifying.
This wasn’t just a crime – it was an intrusion into a fortified home, a breach of safety, and a gut-wrenching reminder of how fragile life can be. Their home, surrounded by eight-foot walls and security features, still couldn’t protect them from this act of violence.
Right now, police are continuing their investigation, trying to figure out what exactly led to the attack, and whether anything was taken from the house. Forensic teams are working quickly, and more updates are expected soon. But even with a suspect behind bars, the pain of this loss runs deep – especially for those who worked with Robin or were touched by her work.
This tragedy isn’t just about losing a gifted professional. It’s about losing two people whose lives mattered deeply – to friends, family, and an industry that now mourns them. Robin Kaye’s impact on television music will live on, but her absence leaves a silence that’s impossible to ignore.
