Roma is a singer/songwriter from Australia, predominately focusing her energies within the christian music indusrtry.

Currently Roma is one of the most played Christian artist on Australian community and Christian radio. After being diagnosed with a life long illness 9 years ago, she was told she may never sing again. It’s nothing short of a miracle to see her back on the stage again and literally touring the world. “I still find it hard to believe that I am here, and I am completely well. It makes me appreciate what I do much more – I am so grateful for the second chance”, she says.

After signing a publishing deal with Warner Music, she independently released two albums, “Fearless Courage” in 2001, and “People Change” in 2003. She is most well known however for her hit song “More than Ice-cream”, which catapulted her into Christian and mainstream radio. “I never expected that song to be a hit. I was happy to sing my songs no matter where they take me” she exclaims. Little did she realise that radio would embrace her music the way that it has. “I am still overwhelmed by the emails I get from people who are touched by my songs. It means a lot because I know what it’s like to have tough times. I also know how much it means to have someone understand what you’re going through”, she says.

Her popularity and ability to connect with an audience means she is touring extensively doing many shows as a solo artist on a grand piano, which has been well received. It has also meant that she has performed at major festivals and as a support artist for artists such as Stephen Curtis Chapman, Michael W Smith, Rebecca St James, Jars of Clay, David Meece, Margaret Becker, DC Talk and the Newsboys, just to name a few. This has led her all over Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the USA, often to capacity crowds. But her experience in the music industry goes much further.

Roma continued to work as a session singer on TV and in the studio for artists such as Vanessa Amorossi, Jay La’Gaia, Debra Byrne, Marina Prior to name a few. She is also the founder and director of the Melbourne Gospel Choir, who have performed on shows such as GTV 9 Carols By Candlelight, GTV 10 Good Morning Australia, Ch 7’s Good Friday Appeal, The X Factor, The AFL Grand Final and Dancing with the Stars

Her wide experiences as a vocalist led her to write a book on vocal technique. “The Working Singer’s Handbook”, has just been released internationally through Music Sales UK. It has fast become a best seller. “The book was never something I expected to do,” she muses. “But I saw a need and thought it might help people who were learning to sing, or needed advice if they were already singing”. Little did she realise that it was a much needed resource for a world wide market.

Her most recent project was a Christmas album with Marina Prior and the Melbourne Gospel Choir. The title track - “Our Christmas Prayer”, written by Roma and Marina, was sung by Marina on Ch 9’s Carols by Candlelight with the Melbourne Gospel Choir in 2005 to a crowd of 150,000 and an estimated international TV audience of over 55 million.
