Romarna’s storytelling begins with the drums. The nomadic spirit of this exciting drummer, producer and composer lives in her jazz and hip hop-infused music. Her irrepressible energy can be heard on Inherently Political, a super-charged sonic assault on racism. It immediately won favour with Anne Frankenstein, Jazz FM’s Tony Minvielle and had her crowned by Jamz Supernova as New Name of the Week.
Her independently-released kaleidoscopic debut 25 Songs For My 25th Birthday features Soweto Kinch, Tomeka Reid, Sumi Tonooka and Lady Sanity. It takes us deeper into her world of resonant frequencies and conscious vibrations.
Romarna honed her craft with Berklee College of Music, Tomorrow’s Warriors and the Notebenders. She stands on the shoulders of giants and is drawing inspiration from the view as she beats a path forward that is very much her own.
