"The main thing that inspires my music and the concepts behind it are movies . When I listen to this album I imagine 80’s films like Teen Wolf, Beverly Hill Cop, Back To The Future and Purple Rain having Romero as the soundtrack. I mention Teen Wolf and Purple Rain especially because the main character is someone who goes from not being valued much in society to being the greatest coolest character in the movie .

Osquello recently released his latest album, “Romero”, which successfully displays his growth and versatility as an artist. The record combines several genres such as Funk, Soul and Rap to create a cohesive project. Described as a concept album, he taps into his character of “Romero” which challenges his listeners to look further than the original perception which is displayed.
