Dean Romero/Deanohboy Perspective on Little do I know

I'm Dean Romero. I'm an artist. I paint  in several  mediums . I scupt, I sew, i do photography,I make music,I used to teach ballrom dancing, I make jewelery.I help out on a ranch working with horses or digging ditches or organizing a  jewelers workshop.I used to be a hair stylist but now I only work on friends.I worked in Bevery Hills for several years but I got bored and quit the profession.

Well I grew up listening to oldies.I was around a lot of gangsters as a child as they were  my family.So rRckJjames, Tina Marie, Zapp, Smokie Robinson, Motown and all their Artists were played.My grandma used to play the 8 track from Culture Club Kissing To Be Cleaver as well as a band called The Purple Haze Filix and Milferd are my second cousins.It was a great album they had mostly in spanish..My mom played Debbie Boons "you light up my life" Debbie Boone is my mothers second cousin. So there was a mixture of Genres in my past which all led up to who I am and the style of music I create.

I remember my mom playing Elton John "I remember when I was young, me and suzy had so much fun, holding hands and singing songs" and benny and the Jets.

my sister listened to Ozzy Ozbourn, My Uncle loved Kiss and Journey,Then there was Malissa Manchester.I was born In 1969 so I go way back.lol

When I was a teenager I thought for sure when I got old enough I would start hanging out at The Whiskey on sunset. I was sure I was going to be a musician.But it didn't turn  out that way. I left home at age 14 so I had to deal with issues  like where I was going to live.

What Themes? I don't understand the question.

It falls into the oldies Genre.The Blues, Jazz,Folk.

Well I used to try to do it all. And by myself. I didn't know how to play an instrument  like a pro so I would  sing my lyrics to backing tracks or instumental s.. I had many songs already recorded  but re recorded them last year. My music seemed a bit depressing to some even to me but I took those sad songs and put music to them that was a little  more upbeat. I love that when an artist sings real depressing lyrics in a upbeat happy style. I think the Beetles do that.

I'd say my music sounds like a bunch of number one hit's. And it should be. But because of my involvment with advanced technology there is no real person to actually sing my songs live. Which isn't always a good thing.My idea was to create the songs and sell them to musicians. 

Oh I would have loved to see Elvis Presley, Tina Marie, Laura Branegon, Pete Burns,Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, George Michael, David Bowie,Jimmy Hendix, So many of the Gods have passed.

Well I have a couple. My love for you, It's just me,Too good for me,I made a wish,Death Romance Dance,Burn like Fire, Little do I Know, Kiss Me,You Never Go Away,and Get Off the Streets which I co wrote with my friend Steve.

I'd choose myself 1 because I love my music.2. I'd say Boy George he has some amazing songs that never made it to the radio.and 3 i'd say George Michael his voice is amazing.

Oh I would love to colab with Boy George. I think he's gone off on a tangent but I think he's a great writer.

It would look like Ariana Grande singing one of my songs, Oh yeah I forgot to mention Donna Summer up above in what artist would I like to see dead or alive.I don't perform my own music .But it would take an artist with  a lot of style , soul, dynamic and talent to please me. Celine Dion would do it  or someone of that calaber.

Sucess has happened. I created the song. How ever I did it I did it. Just getting them created brought me such a feeling of success.I would like them to be played and enjoyed by everyone around the world but I don't know if people are ready to accept my music.I want them to, it's fantastic music. Perhaps new Generations will get it.

I think Artist should raise awarness of issues the average person can't due to a lack of an audience.Artist can do so much for global warming but don't get involved.Thats partly what my song "You never go away " is about.

I want them to feel like someone has taken what they feel about there life and made it into a song. I want them to relate. To be vulnerable. It's ok to be sad , it's ok to be proud, it's ok to be different, it's ok to do things the way you want to do them despite the norm.People are so scared to be judged or to be disliked. So what if someone doesn't like you at least your're being authentic.

I'm hopeing to write a song and finding a real person to record it  . In what genre   I don't know. But blues would be cool or a house song that people love to dance to at a night club.

He's a writer.

 I hate sharing my music with friends. They see musicians as untouchable and being that I am touchable therefore I am not a musician. I see what they mean but until I have a song played on the radio and I'm making money from my music they won't believe in me. So I would like a hit song. what artist wouldn't. But until your somebody your nobody it seems . 

I've worked doing hair, make-up, teaching dancing, selling yogurt when I was 16 to pay for dance lessons,i've done work on a rance, i've built a deck for some producer in the Hollywood hills.

Probablt Dali, A face of roses.

Sculpting, painting, working with resin, jewelry making. I love gemstones.

"Iv'e got the music in me" . I  want to be loved. I want people to know that I am special. I 'm not scared to make a fool of myself. If I were I wouldn't dare to publish anything out of fear of rejection. But though I would love to be successful in music while I'm alive I won't be surprised if I go nowhere and thats ok . The songs in my heart have been made. It's up to people to appreciate  them.  Maybe one day someone will grab me out of the pile and say "well what have we got here".

It is a bit lonely. I've always been more of a loner anyways. When you're a freak even when you take the make-up off and dress in plain clothing then you know your different. I used to get all dressed up  with plaid pants ,platform shoes a spiky wig and a face of makeup and go out to clubs in hollywood. I loved attention. People would stop me walking down the street and ask me to take a picture with me. I loved looking like a freak. Then one day I was just normal, no make up no crazy clothes . I just wanted to look like everyone else. I went out and people were still staring at me! I didn't get it. I was like "wait a minute why are people staring at me" I realized later on that enery is a lot of what people can see. My energy , my aura, I prefer to not blend in. Anonamous is not  me.

I would like Artist to get paid properly. Right now I'm having an issue with Amazon music. They are selling my music and keeping the royalties. Like Jeff Bezos needs any more money. I don't have a team of people fighting for me. It's just me. I have to do it all. The music, the album covers, I do it all alone with no help from anybody. So i get taken advantage of a lot and stolen from.It's sad. It happens all the time and it's not right.

Well when I'm painting a picture it can't always say it all. It can capture a lot of my message but the emotions I can't express in a painting I  can write a song to express myself.

I don't know about scary but it is a bit scary to have someone selling your music and keeping the profits. It's scary and fustrating.

live and let live.

This one guy on Band Lab listened to a bunch of my songs and was blown away. He was just baffled by my music and couldn't get enough of my music.

 My practice is trying to take my time and do some researh on  a song.  I've made up to 80 versions of a single song.  I made over 4000 songs in 2025 many of which were the same song only different versions.

Do we always have to be compaired to another artist. ?

Watch your back. Becareful who you have around you. Don't trust everything people tell you. a  listening ear and sometimes have a running mouth. Becareful who you trust.Even your best friend can stab you in the back.Jealousy is real.

I just want to be able to relate to a lot of people . I want people to get me and appreciate me and what I do. I am an artist.I don't care if someone doesn't like me but at least give me a chance. Don't not like me for no reason. I  feel too.  Everyone does. Positivity is key. I try to keep it real and positive which is a task  at times. How do you express how fucked up the world is in a posive  manner. How do you tell the story of abuse in a positive  tone. Sometimes it is what it is.Sometimes it's best to take it for what it is. Life is not easy but you can still enjoy like even when times are tough.  It's a part of life. Falling into a negative vibe is easy to do and it take a lot of work to change your outlook especially when you're  a naturally a pesimistic person. When times get tough smile it will pass.
