A self-taught multi-disciplinary artist inspired by the resistance, healing and our ancestors – Romana experiments with several mediums to express her journey as a woman of colour in Toronto. 
 Romana is a singer/songwriter, painter, installation artist, and experience designer.

As an expressionist and artist, Romana feels that it is her responsibility to use her art as a platform for awareness and healing. Her music specifically lends a voice to the issues and ideas that are important to her and the many diverse communities she belongs to. Romana's music addresses identity, belonging, and healing. Topics that are not often addressed in the mainstream, Romana's messages are made accessible and easily consumable through smooth 90's R&B-inspired sounds. Her musical style is definitely a reflection of her experience growing up in a desi household in the 90's.

As an experience designer and installation artist, Romanas intention is to give people permission to feel and heal by creating truly unique experiences and visual art. Her unique experiences and installations have already been featured in People Magazine, TorontoLife, VICE and the Toronto Star.

Romana is changing the way we view artists today and giving people everywhere permission to do it all!
