1. How did you know from early, that music was going to have an extra special place in your heart and soul?

I believe the constant compliments I’d get from my family and neighbors when I was growing up every time I’d take a shower in the front of the yard cause I loved playing with water, or when I sang at church and school and getting all positive reactions each time, this was confirmation that music would always be apart of me.

2. What are some of the ways that you nurtured that talent over the years?

Over the years I took part in so many different talent competitions including both primary and high school level and all these events required an excessive amount of rehearsals that didn’t just help with my vocal abilities but also my confidence to perform.

3. Was it all smooth sailing in your musical career and if not what are some of the obstacles that you had to overcome personally and professionally?

It has never been easy along this musical journey. Trying to do music on a serious level and living in rural Jamaica was a tuff challenge, so after winning Rising stars I had to figure out how I would settle in Kingston so I could do both school and music. Also, trying to get people to take my original music seriously was another big challenge I faced, as it took a while for people to see me as Romain Virgo the Artiste and not the kid from the competition.

4. What do you appreciate about your fans over the years?

One thing I know for sure is that the people who supported me from day one are still here. It’s the same grandmas who voted for me back then to the kids who used to watch me alongside their parents who are now 18, 19 or in their early 20’s. I was lucky to be supported by 3 or 4 different generations over the years and the support only gets better with time I believe.

5. What do you believe your fans love most about you and your music?

A lot of my supporters that I’d meet either in the streets or at a show would often time use the word humble. I still trying to figure out the meaning of the word itself, but in terms of my music a lot will tell me they appreciate that it can be played anywhere even around their kids and that’s something I take pride in. My main objective is to always create music that can either uplift or make the world a happier place.

6. When you create music what inspires you most times?

Life inspires me to create, just anything within my surroundings at the time and on the other hand, it’s just things I experience on a daily basis as time goes by. So for example I could be reading a book or watching the news, something might just tick off an idea in my head. I could just be listening to someone’s experience and that also can inspire me, so it comes in so many different forms.

7. Who are some of the reggae legends who have or continue to guide your amazing musical journey?

I grew up listening to legendary reggae artiste including Alton Ellis, Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Garnett Silk, Beres Hammond, Capleton, Luciano, Buju Banton, Sanchez and the list goes on and on and these are just a few that come to mind at fist though.

8. What advice do you have for upcoming stars?

I believe it’s very important to stay true to one’s self. I spent quite a few years searching for something that was already within me. Loving your craft to the point where even if it’s not bringing any financial gain for a few years, if the passion, determination, drive and persistence is always there, everything else will follow in time.

9. How did reggae choose you?

The kind of musical community that surrounds me from day one has a very huge impact on the path I’m now on. I grew up in the hills of Stepney where every weekend a sound system called Black Spider would play reggae music 24/7 and thought I was introduced to other genres of music indirectly from my mother’s playlist I connected more with reggae.

10. What types of music do you enjoy listening to and why?

I listen to almost everything that’s called music cause that’s how I get inspiration at times too. I’m currently listening to Country Music from the 90’s I like the writing styles back then.

11. How has your musical offering and persona changed through the years?

The music I offer is always dependent on the inspiration at the time, as life happens, everything, I experience has everything to do with the persona that evolves.

12. What can fans expect from your latest album Gentle Man and what do you appreciate most about the major collaborations, especially Jamaican music heavyweights Jesse Royal, Masicka, and Capleton ?

Everyone that listens to The Gentle Man album will not only hear to my best body of work in my opinion, but also they will get to experience the growth in my music since Love Sick six years ago. It’s always a blessing when I get the opportunity to collab with my Jamaican brothers and sisters in music, it’s even more special when they are someone you look up to musically and on a personal level.

13. As a father and husband, what are some gems you can share regarding acing those two major responsibilities?

It’s never easy being a husband and a father but one thing I know for sure is showing up is the best thing you can do. You might not always have it all together but when you allow your presence to be felt in every situation you can possibly show up, then it makes a big difference.

14. Where is your most favourite country to perform and why?

It’s so hard to determine a favourite country to perform in when the reception everywhere we go is always on such a positive level. Anyhow, there’s this beautiful island in the eastern Caribbean which is probably my most visited country in the Caribbean called Grenada, She’s the one for sure that shows me love even when I don’t have a current hit song and that to me is beyond special.

15. How would you describe the evolution of your musical style?

Every moment I create music I try to also be conscious of the time that we are in. So while I hold on to the foundation that our music was built on, we still try to incorporate the modern sounds and styles as much as we possibly can.

16. Has success changed you and if so how?

I believe I’ve been able to remain myself with all that came my way over the years. Any change would probably be the knowledge I’ve gained over the years that helped me to be the man I am today.

17. Was it easy giving fans an insider view to your private life with the highly successful YouTube vlog sensation The Virgos, and what do you think the fans love most about the show?

We were very nervous on how we were gonna look on camera, but I’d say after our first video and the overwhelming support that we received, all the nervousness went. What we share is who we are, even though it’s not everything that happens in our life people get to see. We strive to stay as true as we possibly can to ourselves first and to this newfound family. A lot of people say that we make them laugh and sometimes even cry. That’s the kind of effect we were hoping for especially at the initial stage when we started. We started during the pandemic and our hope was to just help someone get by each day.

18. What are your tour plans for 2024?

Our plan is to take The Gentle Man everywhere we possibly can in 2024, for sure we kicked off things off here in Jamaica with three events in three different parishes to launch the Album. We also know that we will be busy in the Caribbean, North America, Europe, and UK, and just about everywhere else that the almighty has in store for us.
