ROMÆO

Generations Fellow

‘Becoming a more well-rounded musician means I can pick and choose what processes and practices I want to employ with each work.’

Romæo

ROMÆO creates experimental art-pop, reminiscent of several artists and sounds but bound to none. Drawing influence from FKA twigs, Charli XCX, and Jockstrap, ROMÆO creates a dystopian digital landscape that is both enthralling and somewhat uncomfortable. With only two singles under her belt, ROMÆO has already impressed fans and industry, receiving rotation on FBi and SYN Radio, as well as plays on the js.

The Generations Fellowship connects artists with established industry experts and mentors, to pass on intergenerational knowledge and create pathways in the music industry. Between Janurary 2021 and June 2021, ROMÆO explored a number of musical instruments in the Powerhouse collection.

Had my first meeting with Astral People which was great so that we could begin planning what to achieve this year. I’m working on tidying up my demos and getting them all together so we can explore potential collaborations.

I’ve begun getting into a routine of coming into the studio and smashing out some work. I had a tour of the Powerhouse collection with curator Damian McDonald. From a personal and musical standpoint, this was a really interesting and inspiring. I find a lot of inspiration from art and culture around me so this was a great opportunity.
