Band Members: Roman -- New York-born and Texas-raised Puerto Rican dancer and singer Roman is a solo artist. He considers his "bandmates" to be his amazing dancers (including his bellas, translated his "beauties": his all-girl back-up crew that are part of his group of dancers) and his extremely talented producers (for the demo, it's been Rye Randa of Los Angeles, CA, USA) who has helped craft his sound and his art.
Influences: Elvis Presley, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, Prince, Al Green, Madonna, Gloria Estefan, Jon Secada, Ricky Martin, Selena Quintanilla, Luis Miguel, Sin Bandera, Shakira, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, George Michael, TLC, Boyz II Men, Aerosmith, Carman, Crystal Lewis, Sandi Patty, DC Talk, Garth Brooks, and many more.
Sounds Like:What do you get when you fuse the passionate heart of the Spanish language with the pulsating beat of contemporary American pop, dance/pop, R&B, and soul?
In one word: Roman.
He's a sexy, young Latin-American entertainer with a silky voice, funky dance moves, explosive performance ability, and massive appeal. His breed of music is that of bi-cultural Latinos who grew up listening to both Tito Puente and Elvis Presley, Celia Cruz and Aretha Franklin, Carlos Santana and Stevie Wonder, Menudo and New Edition, Luis Miguel and Michael Jackson. These same Latinos (perhaps you, too!) now currently endorse and enjoy the chart-topping hits of Shakira, Maná, Chayanne, Paulina Rubio, and Juanes, and also Usher, Missy Elliott, Eminem, Madonna, and Janet.
It's the popular dance/performance-oriented music Roman discovered growing up in Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and Paula Adbul that he could not find in the Spanish language music market. It's the visual art of live performances, music videos, dance, and choreography that wins and keeps fans -- no matter what language you speak!
