BIO

Hailing from the Rio Grande Valley in Santa Rosa, Texas - Romeo Vaughn - the rising independent singer-songwriter with a contagious Latin flavor and Country soul, creates music that reflects his Texan roots, Nashville influences, and deep Hispanic heritage. With inspirations ranging from George Strait and Keith Whitley to Michael Jackson and Latin artists such as his cousin GRAMMY Award-winning Jesse Turner from Grupo Siggno, Aventura, Intocable, Romeo Santos and Emilio Navaira, his unique sound—what he calls “songs from the south and beats from the city”—aims to uplift, empower, and connect with listeners through a story of resilience, passion, and purpose.

Vaughn has collaborated with Songwriter Jason Nix (Lainey Wilson, Luke Grimes, Keb’ Mo’) on his previously-released single “Over,” about his struggles with alcohol addiction. He went on to release “Cowboy In The Boots” ft. DJ Kane - the former lead singer of Grammy-winning band Kumbia Kings (A.B. Quintanilla’s band - the brother of the late "Queen of Tejano” Selena, and his most recent release “Doin’ My Thing”, was co-written with rising artist Brandon Hartt. 

After serving in the U.S. Army, Vaughn immersed himself in the fashion, music, culture, and lifestyle of Nashville and New York living and performing in both cities, where he sharpened his musical toolkit. Working with Celebrity Fashion Designer Manuel (known for outfitting Johnny Cash and Elvis), Romeo began designing and sewing his own clothes, developing a unique personal style.

In 2016, he relocated permanently to Nashville, facing homelessness for 16 weeks while working at restaurants before finding support through the VA and nonprofit organization Matthew 25. Shortly thereafter, he began struggling with alcohol addiction, ultimately putting his musical career on hold and returning to Texas. Recommitting to his faith, family and pursuing sobriety, Romeo eventually returned to Music City.

Vaughn’s infectious blend of Country, R&B and Latin Pop has captivated audiences with a unique mix of urban sounds and rural authenticity, making him a “breath of fresh air” (We Write About Music) and a unique addition to the Country music landscape. His music, accentuated by a deep baritone voice and a laid back conversational tone exudes a steady genuine charm echoing that of artists like George Strait. Writing deeply personal music, Vaughn weaves in personal stories of faith, family and love, all parallel themes found in both Country music and Mexican regional and Tejano music.

Vaughn continues to release new music and is actively involved with Nashville-based nonprofit Matthew 25, a residential facility that provides Housing, Help and Hope to homeless men in need.
