Few people make a mark on any industry on their first attempt. There is always sweat and tears before anything worth talking about happens. One intriguing musician proving the process is worth it is Romain Ferri, an up-and-coming musician taking the music industry by storm.
Romain is a hip-hop artist best known for his singles “I Can’t Tell” and “Stardust.” Although he had many musical influences growing up, he has tailored his sound and style around the likes of Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Joey Bada$$. Already a hit with critics and fans alike, Romain’s music is described as melancholic and real, which many listeners find refreshing in today’s market of pop artists. His unique style has endeared him to many hip-hop fans, and all of them believe he is an artist to watch out for in the future.
Romain’s journey to success has not been a smooth one, though. During his first year of college, he went through some tough challenges that almost made him drop music. First, his dad succumbed to cancer. Romain says he felt like he didn’t just lose his dad but his best friend too because they were super close. For a while, he felt so lost he took a break from school. After grieving for some time, though, he felt sure his dad would have wanted him to achieve all his dreams. He went back to college and later graduated with a degree in business administration and a minor in music.
Romain’s experiences that year inspired his first single, “I Can’t Tell.” He now believes everything that happened helped him get where he is today because it gave him a lot of character. Going through pain also taught him how to persevere no matter what, something he now realizes he needed to know. Additionally, it equipped him with grit and determination, enabling him to see things others do not. Less than 3 years since he got into the industry fully, Romain has landed shows and opportunities even more established musicians have never seen.
Romain is currently working on his first album and has been releasing singles to prepare for its release. Last month, he released “You Can’t Always Know” and “Never Say Goodbye.” Both singles have been very well received by fans and critics alike, with many saying “Never Say Goodbye” is one of the best hip-hop releases so far this year. Romain says his new album will have 8 new tracks that will be just as good.
Besides being talented, Romain is also charismatic and charming. His inherent positivity and unique style have endeared him to both artists and other industry players. In late 2020, he was one of the opening acts during Big Sean’s national tour. He has also shared the stage with other big names like Lil Yachty and 2 Chainz. Romain says he has more collaborations and projects coming after his debut album. With the world finally getting back to normal, he is also excited about performing live on stage and going on tour again.
In the meantime, Romain’s fans can visit his social platforms to interact more with the artist. As his loyal followers have observed, Romain’s unique sound and style have already marked him for greatness. He is definitely one artist to keep an eye on in the future, and we can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next.
