Romain who is known for his effortless hits, System, Cyaa Sleep, Dark Skin Girl, Who Feels It Knows It, Wanna Go Home and more, says not only is he excited about his musical future, but also about the future of reggae music. “I have a long way to go, when I look at the major achievements of the reggae artistes before me; that is definitely something to aspire toward and that’s what I’m focusing on right now.
