Some music asks you to listen. This asks you to feel. Over 90 minutes to two hours, Roaman moves through original songs and the stories behind them — drawing from folk, reggae, gospel, and hip hop to create something that is hard to categorize and easy to love. His performances are known for their warmth, their honesty, and a particular quality of lightness that doesn't ask you to leave your depth at the door. Come as you are. Leave a little more present than you arrived.
The ArtistRoaman (Riccardo Vitalone) is an Italian singer-songwriter, storyteller, and self-described artivist whose music sits at the crossroads of folk, reggae, gospel, and hip hop. What started with busking on street corners in 2013 and late nights on a small wooden stage in a Camden café has grown into an international touring life spanning festival stages across Europe, the Americas, and Africa. His songs carry real weight and real lightness at once — honest, playful, and built to remind people that being fully alive is still an option.
