Platinum-selling R&B recording artist, Rome, is back on the scene and ready to reclaim his spot at the very top of the music charts. After stepping away from the music scene for the last few years, the former RCA Records golden boy is about to release several hot new singles under the MiddiWest Music Group label. The heavily anticipated release of these singles is expected to return Rome, and his trademark smooth, sexy voice and lyrics, to the forefront of the music business.

Rome, born Jerome Woods, hails from Benton Harbor, Mich. As a young boy Rome grew up listening to and singing along with his mother's favorite records, principally Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke, whose influences are very apparent in his music today. Like many other R&B and Soul musicians and artists, he also spent many Sundays performing with the church choir. While in high school he joined an R&B cover band, Fire Ice, that gave him the opportunity to travel in the Midwestern area performing in local clubs and talent shows, both with the group and on his own. Woods would later go to college at Alabama's Oakwood University, but Los Angeles, and the dream of making it big in the music business was too big a lure. He dropped out of Oakwood in 1989 and made his way West. Rome's talent helped him to stand out from the thousands of others who make this trip to the music industry beacon that is Hollywood and Los Angeles. He hooked up with Vesta, touring with them as both a backup vocalist and also appeared in industry showcases as well as several cable-access programs which slowly began to help Rome break through the crowd. Finally connecting with a couple of producers who had some ties to RCA Records, his demo was forwarded to the executives at RCA, an industry powerhouse, the dream target for almost all who dared to even imagine such success. Rome's dream and journey became reality instantly. RCA, recognizing what they had, signed him on the spot. His self-titled debut LP, "Rome," appeared in 1997 and quickly climbed to the top of the charts, earning gold certification.

Now Signed To MWMG/SMLG(Suthun Music Label Group,Inc)-In association Of Bungalo Records & Universal Music Group He Releases His New Single "Back On The Scene" Which Is Sure To Top The Charts Everywhere!
