From the heart of Africa to the bright lights of New York and Los Angeles, Romeo Mputu is not just building a music career — he’s building a cross-continental legacy.
Romeo stands as a rare breed of artist: a performer, songwriter, and music promoter whose journey reflects ambition without borders. With roots deeply embedded in Africa, spanning the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Lesotho, and a commanding presence across more than 30 states in the United States, his story is one of movement, impact, and undeniable stage power.
Romeo’s catalogue of performances reads like a global tour of excellence. He graced The Soirée in 2018 and 2019, performing at exclusive Pre-Grammy Award celebrations in both New York and Los Angeles, in front of audiences exceeding a thousand attendees, a testament to his international appeal. His consistency is just as impressive as his reach. Since 2016, Romeo has performed annually at the iconic Harlem Week Festival, cementing his presence within one of America’s most culturally significant platforms celebrating Black excellence.
He has also performed at the Fayetteville Hip Hop Festival in Virginia and attended the prestigious BET Experience as a VIP guest in 2018 and 2019 — positioning himself in rooms where culture and industry intersect. Few artists can claim the diversity of collaborators and stage-sharing moments Romeo has experienced. He has performed alongside global and African icons, including:
Kevin Gates, DaBaby, Young Bleu, Lil Boosie, Oliver Mtukudzi, Thomas Mapfumo, Mafikizolo, Angie Stone, Lira, Cassper Nyovest, Dionne Warwick and Oskido (Just to name a few)
This blend of hip-hop, soul, Afro-pop, and global sounds reflects Romeo’s versatility and ability to adapt to diverse audiences while staying rooted in his identity. Romeo’s accolades reinforce what live audiences already know — he is built for impact.
In 2017, he won Outstanding Male Artist at the HAPA Hollywood Prestigious Awards. His music has also found significant commercial traction: “Tracker Love” cracked the Top 40 on New York radio and reached the Top 100 on American Chart Music. In 2018, he won Best Music Video at the HAPA Awards for “Show Me Your Love,” delivering yet another standout performance at the ceremony. His single “Richboy” made the 2019 Hip Hop Airplay National Charts Top 100, further solidifying his credibility in the U.S. market.
His recent release, “DNA,” continues to build momentum — signalling that Romeo is far from slowing down. What separates Romeo Mputu from many contemporaries is not just performance power, but positioning. He represents the modern African artist who refuses to be confined geographically. His career is a blueprint for diaspora excellence — navigating African stages and American circuits with equal confidence. He embodies the evolving narrative of African creatives who are no longer seeking entry into global conversations — they are shaping them. From festival stages to award ceremonies, from radio charts to international collaborations, Romeo Mputu’s journey is a testament to persistence, versatility, and global ambition.
And if his trajectory so far is any indication, this is only the beginning.
