Jack Romero is a versatile queer singer/songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. He is mainly a vocalist, however, he plays guitar and piano as well. For high school he attended The Chicago Academy for the Arts and plans on continuing his music studies in Los Angeles at the University of Southern California in the Popular Music Program.
Romero got his start with music at an early age. He has taken classical piano lessons for ten years and picked up guitar for the first time when he was eleven. “I knew I have wanted to be a vocalist and songwriter ever since I have realized that that goal was reachable!” he said, “Vocals followed easily behind those two instruments and they remain prominent in my life as a songwriter today.”
Jack Romero released his first single There is My Baby in 2017 followed by his first EP Empress in 2017. The extended play record consists of five tracks written by Jack Romero and produced by Devin Rodarte. Jack describes his EP as a “concept EP dealing with the gradual curve of a previous relationship”. He then released his second single Do Re Mi which was featured on his sophomore EP About Last Summer. He describes this record simply as, “a journey of self expression from well, last summer”.
