SunSplash Entertainment presents "Reggae Returns to BHM" featuring Romain Virgo and his full band on tour from Jamaica.
Reggae star Romain Virgo is one of the genre’s foremost crooner’s. The artists lyrical and sonic style is suited for the tastes of music lovers who relish in a great love story being told. Fans have described his audio swagger as ‘Marvin Gaye with a Reggae / Dancehall vibe.’
Born in a small district called Stepney in the parish of St. Ann, Romain Virgo was raised in a Christian family who made singing a central theme in their home. Singing together each Saturday night and recording their voices on cassettes allowed them to play the recording back on Sunday morning for their church audience. Several church members took notice. “I never took it serious,” he reflected, “I said it is just people in the community that want to build my confidence. When I was about 10, I had the microphone and I was singing “Amazing Grace” in church because I like the sound of the echo there and everybody was saying whoa, you can really sing. That is when I started to take it seriously.”
Romain has released three albums to date; ‘Romain Virgo’ (2010), ‘The System’ (2012) and ‘Love Sick’ (2018) as well as nineteen singles including his hits “Soul Provider,” “Stronger,” “Beautiful To Me” and “Star Across The Sky.” His music has been streamed more than 57.2 Million times on YouTube, 4.5 Million times on Spotify and 24.2 Million streams on Pandora.
