About J
My name is J Rome and singing has been my passion and my dream ever since I discovered I had a voice. My beginnings were shaped by music’s greats. As a child, I remember sitting in the back of my mom and dad’s car while they listened to Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan etc. and feeling inspired to express myself through song. Early on my family and friends labeled me “THE SINGER” after they noticed my natural affinity for music. My loved ones could attest that I have always been soft-spoken – shy even, but singing was my way of standing out.
Music has given me the opportunity to perform at countless venues and even travel the world, but most importantly, music has been my confidant. Music has uplifted me, guided me and given me a feeling of peace during the most trying times. I was told once; when I sing, I make others happy. If I am able to make a difference in the lives of others, with the talent God has given me, I am ready and the time is now.
My Story
I have been singing for as long as I can remember. I sang everything from Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey to Michael Jackson.
Because of this, everyone in my family called me “The Crooner". I sang so much that people grew tired of it, and would tell me to "be quiet". Obviously, I didn't listen. Instead, I would just run off somewhere, and sing to myself.
