#174 - Erik Kase Romero

For a majority of his music career, Erik Kase Romero has been
behind the scenes. Romero has developed into a prominent music
producer – most notably working with the Front Bottoms (also
plays instrumentals in the live experience), Lorde, and the
Bouncing Souls. Romero has developed a name for himself in the
industry and his musical genius is something that musicians
desire. A quick peek at his website takes the viewer into a
magical journey that involves a large list of production. It’s a
list that would be considered a “dream” for anyone just breaking
into the business. Romero is now a seasoned veteran and in some
ways can be picky when thinking about who he will invite to his
home studio next.


Romero has been involved in bands on the local circuit for years
now. But, what seemed like a silly idea, quickly became a reality
over the past year. Romero made the decision to branch out with
his abilities and start a solo project. While it has been a great
success so far, it was no easy decision. As previously stated,
Romero has always been in the background through production and
instrumentals in various groups. His solo act is serving as a
time where he has the mic and the listeners get to hear his
powerful words. His single still already caught the listener’s
attention for how vulnerable and relatable Romero is through his
lyrics. While Romero will continue to push his songs through
social media and has several live shows coming up, he does not
care for commercial success. This project is not meant to result
in headlining huge venues, but instead it’s another chance to
grow as a musical mind, and have some fun while doing so. How to
be still and still be here is set to be released tomorrow. Make
sure to give it a listen and support Romero as he takes on this
solo adventure.
