Romain is just someone that has a passion for music, ever since I
discovered I could sing, jovial at times and just love socializing
with people from different walks of life
I must say you to me you fall into the categories of a Beres and a
Sanchez. Your voice is amazing. How did you first start singing?
​
The home was where I first started, me and mom would sing and my
brother would nock on top of the table, and we'd tape record and play
back every Sunday morning before church, in high school I was the lead
singer of my school (Aabuthnott Gallimore) choir who came second in a
choir competition in 2006. In 2007 I entered Digicel rising stars
competition, a competition similar to American idol,and came out on
top at the age of 17.
Who were some of your musical influences?
I grew up in a house that most of the music that played was Beres
Hammond, Sanchez, Alton Ellis, Bob Marley, Dennis Brown and the lost
goes on...
Your album was just released and I must say, it's a must-have...I love
"Love Doctor," did you write that particular songs? And who or what
Influence you when writing songs?
Yeah 13 of the fifteen tracks on the album were written by me, including love doctor. But most of the songs I write a based on personal experience and just thing that I see happening around me
everyday.
Who were some of the producers you worked with on your album?
Donavon Germain from penthouse, Shane Brown from Juke Boxx, Dawin and
Omar Brown from Vikings production and Dyane Foster from Pete music
are the producers that worked on the album.
How has your life changed since you have become internationally known?
It has changed a whole lot, I mean, it's more hard work in the studio
and promotion to keep current, cause now that I start to build a
foundation, I know everybody that knows me now are looking fwd to see
me start laying some blocks and to even reach the roof.
You have a very distinctive voice, has anyone ever compared you to
Another artist? And if so who?
Some people says I remind them of young Sanchez; some says ur the next
Beres Hammond! So I know I have a lot to live up to.
How would you describe your style of music?
I'm a lover, so most of my music are love songs, but I'm still a
concerned artist about the social issues that take place around me.
I write music I know will live for a long period... No matter what
genre, Reggae/Dancehall/R&B....
What should we be expecting next from Romain Virgo?
​
Well you can expect a lot more music/music videos from me, my first
Album is out, so most of my fans should see me soon in their country.
Any advice for upcoming artists?
It is very hard being a young artist trying to get into the business,
but if you put God in the driver's seat and believe in yourself and
work hard then nothing can stop you from reaching your goals.
