Romeo first found fame in the garage group
So Solid Crew, having grown up on and around the notorious Surrey Lane,
Winstanley and Badric Court estates of Battersea. He subsequently had a solo career. He got his name Romeo due to his smoothness with the ladies. Romeo released his solo album

duet with
Christina Milian, "
It's All Gravy", which reached No. 9 in the UK Singles Chart in the same year. In 2004, Romeo appeared in the reality show
