indie pop, psychedelic rock
Rob Romano, known as Chico Romano, crafts omni-pop compositions from his New Jersey base, blending 60s soul and R&B with Latin American and Brazilian influences like MPB and Tropicália. His music, developed from bedroom recordings and full band performances, showcases a sophisticated melodic sense with lush aesthetics, appealing to fans of lo-fi experimentation and psychedelic rock. Expect a performance that is both intimate and ambitiously arranged, drawing from a diverse sonic palette.
