• 1:08
  Speaker 1: They're a Grammy Award winning band. And so when I
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: was younger, he took me under his wing and I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I performed with him. And then Ab Kintania, which is
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Selena's the late Selena great late Selena died. It was
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: her brother started a band called the Kumi Kings, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: from there Ab started a band called Big Sequel, which
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: is like a it was like an upbeat Mexican American,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: but it was it was strictly Spanish. It was strictly

• 1:45
  Speaker 1: signed a capital in in my and so like we
• 1:48

• 1:54
  Speaker 1: years old and I performed in Monterey, Mexico in front
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: of ninety four thousand people, you know, so I mean
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: we weren't the headliners, but I mean we got to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: perform on the stage. You know, I was on international television,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you know, back in the I don't know, maybe if
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you have no Spanish listeners listening, and if you don't,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: it's fine, but we got Savoo hi gante risperto America,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: which is the equivalent of like disperto America is Univision's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Good Morning America. Sado Hi Gante is like is the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: American Jimmy Fallon Show? Like so I was like on
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: on doing all that at fourteen fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: performing yeah all over I mean I've been to I've
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: been to all forty eight states, uh before I was eighteen,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you know, and and performing all over Mexico and South
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, it was. It didn't just start.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I've been doing this for a long, long, long, but
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: never in my own, never like my own truth. Never.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It was always you know, in somebody else's band or
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: or a band that I was a part of. It
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: was never like my truth to my like who who
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I am?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah? So you were doing music for as long
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: as you can remember, right yeah, and then when you
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: permanently moved to Nashville to continue pursuing your dream of music,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: you faced homelessness for sixteen weeks, and eventually you found
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: support through the VA and the nonprofit organization Matthew twenty five. Yes,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: what does this Nashville nonprofit mean to you?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Everything? Like everything. I would not be here talking to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you if it wasn't for God working through Matthew twenty five.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I mean they took me in. I don't know. Let
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: me tell you the process, say how it's like really cool.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I'm dead out of my car. I'm just like, uh,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I'm under this bridge and I'm just eating like out
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of a garbage can and there's ants not my food,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and it's just like ryan to me, and I don't know.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: That's why my burgers now, I tell everybody I only
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: want bed and cheese like a five year old, right.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: But because of that experience, so I finally my brother
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: actually was like Romeo, what are you doing man? Because
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: my brother's also a veteran, so is my dad. He
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: was like, you need to call the VA because we weren't.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't tell my brother until the end of my homelessness,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and I didn't tell my parents until after I got
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: out of Matthew twenty five. They had no idea. So
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: my brother's like, you need to call the VA. So
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I said, okay. So I was like, well, can he
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: pay my phone bill this month? Like because I'm not
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: gonna have a phone, and at that time, I have cricket.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: You know, it's all we could get. You know, you
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: got you know beggars can't be choosers. So my brother,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: my brother paid the fifty dollars a month for me
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: because my phone was about to be disconnected like the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: next day or something. So my brother paid my phone bill.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And he was super mad at me that I didn't
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: tell him that I was homeless, right, and so I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: called it. I call them and I'm like, I'm homeless,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: like I've been out here for four months, like it's bad, like,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you know, And they came. They literally from the time
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I called them to the time they picked me up,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it was probably twenty minutes. They were there fast and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: in a hurry. They got there. They took me and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: they took me to the mental Health Annex and so
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: from there they showered me, you know, and I got
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to shower. Not that I wasn't showering because I have
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a friend of mine, his name Swan Hernandez out of Laredo, Texas.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: He's a truck driver, so he would lend me his
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: points once a week so I could go shower at
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the Loves off Trinity Lane. But it was always the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: struggle to get there. But anyway, so I go to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Matthew twenty five on the Mental health annets. They called
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Matthew twenty five. I got. I didn't have anything but
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: my bangs, and they washed my clothes. They put me
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: in a bed in a room. They fed me the intake.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: They did the whole intake process. They also for while
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you're there, you have to do like an intake process,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and then you have to do chores. You can't drink,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: you can't do drugs. You have to report, and when
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you like, they help you get a job. And thankfully
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I ended up gaining a job at our back steakhouse.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: While I was there, because I was about to lose
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: my car. That's what helped me was I was about
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to lose my car, but my parents found out that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I was homeless and I hadn't been paying my car.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he didn't for me or car
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: was daddy. So you're like, oh no, I gotta pay
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: for my car. And I was able to keep my car.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I ended up going to UH to work. I stayed
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: at Matthew twenty five for as long as I needed to.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I was grateful that I was there, but I didn't
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: want to be there. I will you know. I didn't
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: want to be there, and I because The thing about
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Matthew twenty five is it could it's the biggest blessing
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: in the world, but it can also be an achilles
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: because they do everything for you. So do you take
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: this too better to your life or do you take
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: this to be lazy? You know? So all I needed
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: was the help, and from the time I got there
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: six weeks later, I was on my own. That's wonderful, Yeah,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: because you know there's some people that will be there
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: for a long time, you know, but it's nothing bad
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to anyone. The thing is a lot of the people,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of the men that are there, they're older,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you know, they got they got disabilities, or they got
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: they don't they can do that they need. But I was,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I'm young, I'm driven, Like what there was the excuse?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: You know, it was great. Matthew twenty five means everything
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to me. That's why last year for my birthday, you know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I always tell everybody, like I always give a shout
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: out to Chuley's, that tex mex restaurant, because they donated
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: all the food so I could go and feed them
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: at Matthew twenty five. This year, it was scoreboards when
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: we went to shoot the music video. Also my parents
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: last year came to Nashville to be with me for
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: my birthday because my birthday is August sixteenth, and so
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: my parents came for my birthday and we were able
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to get like fifteen seventy five gallon bags full of clothes,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and for my birthday we went to go donate that
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: as well. And so Matthew twenty five is everything to me,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and I think I believe it, and I will tell
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you that God willing my star rises and the more
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: my platform allows me to do more, the more I
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: will do with Matthew twenty five. I think the plane
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the easiest way I can say is when I make it,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Matthew twenty five makes it. They will never need anything
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: ever again.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I love that, and I love that they were able
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: to support you through your hard times. And now you're
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: shining a light on this organization and you feature Matthew
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: twenty five and the music video for your upcoming single
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Big Dreams from a Small Town. Yeah, I just got
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: to say, Romeo, I haven't seen a music video so
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: authentic in a long time. You know, you see a
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: lot of videos now on social media out there that's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: all like glitter and glam but this video really gives
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: listeners a look and to who you are, where you
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: came from, and it's just so authentic and real and
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I really appreciate that.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So did you.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Come up with the vision for this music video?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, I literally wrote the entire treat. Like the director.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I went to him. His name is Carl and I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: love him to death. I went with it in mind.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I have the video in my head years before we
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: made the video, so I knew, like I even I
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: remember there was a when I was eating at Matthew
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: twenty five and I, you know, I don't remember his name,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that there was a guy next to me that was
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: eating with me. We were eating and I said, before
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I die, I'm going to make a video here at
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Matthew twenty five. And he and I always like I
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: had it all in my head and Carl just helped
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: me bring it to life.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Amazing. Yeah. I hope every Nashville local come out to
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: support Matthew twenty five and volunteer and help them and
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: need as well. And I want to touch on your
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: previously released single over and it's about the struggles you
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: faced with alcohol addiction. So now that you've overcome homelessness
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: and your sober Would you say the music you right
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: now is a lot different than maybe the music you
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: were writing ten to twelve years ago.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, most definitely. That's a good question for sure,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: because the music I was writing back then, I was
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: drinking and partying, you know. I also struggled with drugs,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you know as well, you know, and so it was
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: more when I would write songs and stuff, it was
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: or record songs, and it was more of like like
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to get a girl, or you know, let's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: party and let's do this, and let's do that. And
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: now it's not like that. I mean, I'm still gonna
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: make songs like that because nobody wants to hear depressing song, right,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: But I think the writing has changed because the man
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: has changed.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm sure it's very healing for you to
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: write out the struggles you have been through and overcome,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: You know. Like I actually just wrote a song the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: other day called wild Bills Nights, and I just wrote it,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: but the second versus those days have come and gone,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: but the memories we made I've put in this song.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So it's wild Bills was a bar that we all us.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: It's a hometown bar back back in Harninge in Texas,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: but missed the wild Bill. The mister Bill. He was
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: our biology teacher in high school. We all of us
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: went to the Wild Bills and we just it kind
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: of Wild Bills kind of you know, gave me that hope.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: When I got into country music. It was Wild Bills
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: where I went because it was a country western saloon.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely different now because I'm for when I sober,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you know, and so I'm clean and clear minded, and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I can look back and remember the times that we had.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And I think that's what's going to make the music
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: great because even when I don't write about like overcoming
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: struggles or overcoming this, like Wild Bills Nights is such
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: a great song, you know, because it's it's almost like
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: nostalgic for like people that because it even says you
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: have to be there to understand those Wild Bills. Nice,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: you know, but in your hometown you have a Wild Bills.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: It might not be called Wild Bills, but there's a
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Wild Bills, you know. And I think everybody's going to
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: relate and big dreams from a small town. Everybody's going
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to read. Everybody has and being having big dreams. You know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: it's not not everybody wants to be a country music artist.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: You know, people want you want to podcast, people want
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: to be doctors, people want to be lawyers, people want
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to be general people want to be ditit managers at publics.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: You know, people want it and there's nothing wrong with that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: People have dreams are not all music, but if they
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: can hear a song like Big Dreams from a small
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: town and be like, you know what I am from.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I always mentioned Burlington, Colorado because I have some family
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: there and it's smaller than Santa Rosa. There's a place
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: called Burlington, colorad Whether you're from Brington, Colorado, or somewhere
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: in Kansas or somewhere in small town in Utah, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: you're like, man, how could I ever go from this
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: to you know, being the district manager of water Burger
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. From a small town.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: That doesn't happen to people like me. I'm just going
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: to be the cashier forever, you know. But they hear
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Big Dreams from a small town and they're like, you
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: know what, yeah, I you know what, I can do this,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you know, and like the song in Big dream that
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: says whoever said it wasn't easy wasn't telling a lie.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: So obviously when they hear the song and they look
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: at me, they're not going to be like, oh, this
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: guy made it. It happened so easy for him. You
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: know when they see the video, when they hear the song,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: it'll give them hope. I believe.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I think so too. Yeah, I think your whole message
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: with the song will give people hope and know that
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: it's not easy, but you know they can do everything
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: they can and to overcome their struggles.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we all have struggles, and I think I think
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think it's great because I mean,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: what what would life be if it was just easy?
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: You know, where like because that's where you know our
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: faith comes in and our hope comes in, and the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: hope that you know, that hope and faith that Jesus
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: did come and die for us, and that he did
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: rise again, and that he's coming back and that he's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: always with us. I even think about Jesus when because
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: you know, we're human. Not everybody's going to like my song,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: not every reason I like the message. Not everybody's gonna
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: like the way I dress, the way I look the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: way you look, the way you dress. You know, it's
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: just it is what it is. But I think about
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: when I think about Christ's them like they killed him
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: for being perfect? Who am I to think that they
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: won't judge me? And I think that that how me?
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for sharing your message, Romeo, and
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I just kind of want to switch gears now to
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: a fun topic. So you design all of your stage
• 16:14
