RoRo
Hailing from the island of Barbados, RoRo wears her musical influences on her skin - via tattoos of her idols Etta James, Erykah Badu, Lauren Hill and Nina Simone inked onto her arms. Equipped with attitude (and choruses) to spare, RoRo showcased her ability to reach audiences far beyond her island roots with her debut EP - 'Mood Forever'. Earning Annie Mac's 'New Name' on BBC Radio 1 with her debut single, Mine, RoRo went on to gain further support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC 1xtra, Capital Xtra and beyond. Follow-up singles Dance with the Devil and Mood Forever landed support from radio and online tastemakers in UK, U.S., Europe and across the Caribbean. An interview feature on Edith Bowman's Play Next podcast gave a glimpse into RoRo's world and the writing behind it. 2020 also saw RoRo reactively release Black - Palace of Me, in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. A one-take track that explores black positivity, recorded over a year prior and not intended for a release, it showcased the depth of RoRo's writing ability and yet another musical style that she effortlessly carries.
