Rome Ramirez, aka Rome, is a California-based singer/songwriter and lead singer of the band Sublime with Rome. Born in Fremont, California in 1988, Rome began playing guitar around age 11, and by his teens had developed into an adept singer/songwriter. In 2008, Rome (a long-avowed Sublime fan) was introduced to Sublime bassist Eric Wilson by 17th Street Recording Studio producer Lewis Richards. This led to a live 17th Street Recording Studio RAWsession performance in which Rome jammed on Sublime songs with Wilson. Subsequently, Rome joined the remaining members of Sublime (who had been without a consistent lead singer since the death of vocalist Bradley Nowell in 1996) for a tour in 2009. In 2011, the freshly minted Sublime with Rome released their debut album, Yours Truly. A year later, Rome released his own debut solo EP, Dedication, on Fueled by Ramen. He quickly followed up with two more singles, 2013's "Terrorista" and 2014's "Eighteen." ~ Matt Collar
