He has been doing his music since he was about 10 years old. HIs freshman year of high school was when he started recording his sounds. He felt he wasn’t the best, no, but he kept sharpening his skills as best as he could. He stepped away from music three-four times in his life already. This is his fourth try at it. Decided to take it professionally and invest in his craft as much as he could. Next thing you know the support followed with it. He thinks its a bit insane how far he has come already. What is his take on working solo or with a group? "I love playing with other artists where it’s either performing live in concert with them, or in a closed setting. When it comes to crafting my own music I write everything on my own. Producing comes from a close producer of mine by the name of Bluff Gawd. I also work closely with producers Cory Orlando, D.LYNCH, and now of recent Iam3am. Great group of guys with the same mentality of music as myself." What makes him different from the others you may ask? his particular sound is different solely because he is not just one sound. He creates a diverse atmosphere of feeling. The name A Certain Energy already showcases a “certain energy” will be distributed given with each song. He is relatable not to just the millennials but there are older fans enjoying his music and message in his music as well.  He writes all his own music and what does this young artist have to say about it?

        "When I write my music I get inspired by daily life. The simple things in life can give me the biggest subjects to write about. It’s strange. Something as simple as a bird flying by can just give you the perfect subject. I don’t know man. The number of artists I collaborated with and have been in the same room with asked me this same question. I always gave them this answer obviously. They just look at me and get jealous." The biggest influence that brought him into the music industry, Hands down was his father, William Romanowski. He was a singer back in Saipan where his little brother was born. Always sang to him when he got the chance. His whole life consisted of music no matter what the genre may be. he is a big fan of John Mayer, Travis Scott, Barenaked Ladies, Mac Miller (RIP), Led Zepplin, J. Cole, Jimi Hendrix, and many more! His life growing up introduced him to so many genres of music, he can’t help but thank his father for that. How does music affect his everyday life? well, we asked him and here is what he had to say: 

      "Music is a lifestyle. Something I cherish every day. Could you imagine a world without music? Just a world without sounds in general? What madness. I couldn’t deal with that. I’d probably do a hard pass on living honestly. Music is something that not only I create, but helps me get by everyday life.  we took a look at the music industry in today's society and how its changed for the good and the bad.  What his view's on the subject he told me, " It’s hard to say at this point. Music just isn’t about music anymore. It’s always someone at war with someone. It’s almost becoming like politics at this point. “Someone’s opinion has to be right or else” type of deal. Just not a fan of that. Just do it for the music. Just play music man. There’s no need to make a big deal about someone not liking your music, or someone stating they’re “better than you” and going public with it. Just so much negativity within music, but obviously I look beyond that and find the positives with it. There’s always a positive to a negative in things.. Especially in music."  His pet peeves of the industry wouldn’t say he has much pet peeves really..He does have pet peeves in life that don’t relate to music though. Not a big fan of being left on read during a conversation. That’s my biggest one. Some of his struggles as a performer? Just gaining the support you need as a performer. As do plenty of artists struggling with. Just having that fan base can truly make the difference within your career as an artist. The adversity for him has been he doesn't have a manager or an agent. So he does everything mostly by himself when it comes to marketing or getting the word out. Somehow, someway. It’s working for him. Thanks to some influences he had shadowed during his time in California. Especially with Red Label Record’s D.LYNCH.  What does he think the struggles are for most artists in the industry are?

       "Getting over that “I don’t have the support, so what’s the point of going through with this” mentality. It takes a while for one to gain any support. You just have to believe in yourself, and keep making great music. No matter what. It took me a while to realize this, but thanks to Chris CruzCheco, a close friend of mine and owner of MBS Clothing Co, he made me realize that when you create your music. You have to love it yourself. As long as you can listen to and love your own music, then the fan base will follow after that. Be patient, and trust the process."  His advice to other artists starting out is simply don't let your dreams die. If you never gave it a shot what’s stopping you from doing it? Don’t live a life full of what ifs. That’s slow torture honestly. After his time in the Marine Corps the biggest takeaway he got from those four years was a saying he made up.. “Just jump”.  

    The way we get to be involved in our own music today is much different than in the days of old. Even recording the music so how does he think on the subject well chatting on the subject his thoughts were about how he was always interested in recording in different atmospheres. It gives it that purity and life. Recording in a hall may give your voice natural reverb. Depending on the track it could potentially give it a sound no device could ever match. So many wonders in the world, and the way you can record music is one of them. "It’s insane. I love it." There’s always something new. The old style of recording. Can’t nothing be said about it? It’s a standard. The studio version of music will never be replaced in reality."  The topic often comes up on pirated music as today there is an abundance of sites that offer free downloads of music that artists would prefer if the fans would pay for. The work these artists go through to lay tracks and demos down can be a very big prosses. He said on the subject Honestly, he would be honored to have his music pirated. Someone going out of their way to download his music they must be a fan. It may hurt him from one standpoint but from another standpoint, the music itself is a love-hate relationship. Can’t hate the fans for that. So We talked about a great many things one topic venues. Lot's of places big and small. Where are some of the better venues he worked out? Hard Rock Hotel’s Club 207 in San Diego, California was by far His favorite venue. The history by the Hard Rock franchise is unmatched. He loved the home feel that The Brass Rail gave him in his hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana though. There’s nothing like representing your city by performing in it. He really loves it. All love to The Brass Rail and J. Tubbs for having him be a part of his artist lineup! What does he recommend to new artists out there about venues?

         " Always give the venues in your hometown a shot. Especially with the ones with plenty of history. Being able to play in a venue with such history just gives you that motivation to keep going. It sure did for me to say the least." Also, Do you have anything in the works now or upcoming?As we are sure your fan's and the fans of Wicked Times Radio would love to hear more about your music. 

    You caught me right in the middle of heading over to Iam3am’s studio to rerecord my verse and hook I have with Mickey Factz. Honestly, if you don’t know who Mickey Factz is.. Shame on you. The man is a legend. I am very humbled to even be on the same song as the man. Idols man, idols. but I am still putting together my Glenwood Ave – EP project together. I wanted to restart it, and go into a more deeper connection with the story I have placed with it. It’s going to be a project, not a soul can forget. 

as a band at the end of the night, you have to reach the person in the very back to draw him in closer to react to your music. How do you go about doing so?

"I call it like I see it. I’ll go out of my way to make sure that guy is involved in the very back. Make sure he or she is having the time of their life. Then again some people would rather be laid back and enjoy the atmosphere around them. I don’t know. I do know for sure I love getting involved with every fan within the crowd. They are family to me."

"Coming to my show you should know you’re about to witness nothing but vibes. Straight energy. One moment we could be vibin’ off of my song Rollin’ that just dropped. Next thing you know a good amount of fans are on stage with me hype off of my song Know That. Always expect a good time, and always expect me to celebrate a great night with my fans at the bar taking shots with you guys! It’s hard to say. The venues I perform at usual consist of a club environment. So you’re always going to have a great time no matter what. You’ll hear people screaming my lyrics, singing along, or just vibing out. I love it. The atmosphere is just terrific. My show at Hard" We got to have an extensive in-depth look into his world and now you have too.
