About Robert Lopez

Robert Lopez (born February 23, 1975) is an American songwriter, best known for co-creating the musicals Avenue Q (with Jeff Marx) and The Book of Mormon (with Trey Parker and Matt Stone.) He co-wrote songs for the Disney animated films Frozen, Frozen 2 and Coco with his wife, Kristen Anderson-Lopez. He is signed to Disney Music Publishing. He is one of the few people to win the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony). He is the only person to have won all four awards more than once, having won two Oscars, three Tonys, three Grammys, and four Emmys. With a second set of competitive wins beginning with his June 27, 2010, Emmy and concluding with his March 4, 2018, Academy Award, he broke his own 'fastest to complete' record, establishing a new fastest EGOT interval at 7 years and 8 months. This was later broken by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (7 years 7 months). Lopez is one of only twenty-two people who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony Award, nicknamed by Philip Michael Thomas in 1984 as the "EGOT". He is also the only person to have won all four awards more than once, having won two Oscars, three Tonys, three Grammys, and four Emmys.
