Biography

Going down on History since MMV

Luxembourg-born singer-songwriter Jerome Reuter founded his multilingual project ROME (the name stems from the abridged version of his first name) in 2005 and has since created an authoritative body of work encompassing at least 20 studio albums and numerous other official releases. Reuter's compelling brand of Dark Folk merges various musical influences from Post-Punk to Chanson, from Industrial to Synth Wave. Lyrically inspired by world literature from Burroughs to Brecht, Celine to Cioran, from Hesse to Jünger; Reuter’s detailed, well-researched, yet particularly accessible concept albums combine his interest in history, philosophy and the arts in a most unique way.

For 20 years Jerome Reuter a.k.a ROME has been a force to reckon with in the musical underground. Through relentless touring and a steady stream of high quality concept albums, ROME has built a remarkably loyal following from Berlin to LA, from Sydney to Saigon, from Lisbon to Kyiv.

Through his unique vision and lyrical content, Reuter has managed to establish his very own musical niche informed by various european folk and chanson traditions coupled with post punk and industrial influences. 

With several new releases in tow, ROME set off for a extensive tour through Europe, the U.S and Australia to celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2025.
