Early life and education

He was raised in New Orleans by his father and his mother Sonya C, who’s a former rapper known best for having been a member of the rap group TRU. Romeo has a sister named Cymphonique Miller who’s an actress and a singer, while many of his cousins are also in the music industry, including the rapper Silkk the Shocker, the rapper C-Murder, and the rapper and producer Mo B. Dick.

Surrounded by music from the day he was born, Romeo wrote his first rap song aged five, and his father then helped sign him to Soulja Music Entertainment. He officially launched his career aged 11, but still chose to focus on his education, but upon matriculating from Beverly Hills High School in 2007, Romeo chose not to enroll at a college but to focus on his career as a rapper and actor.

Career as a rapper

Romeo released his debut album “Lil’ Romeo” on 3 July 2001 – its lead single “My Baby” topped the R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Chart. The album peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200 Chart, and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on 28 July 2001.

His second album – “Game Time” – came out in 2002, peaking at #33 on the Billboard 200 Chart, while its two singles “2-Way” and “Tru Love” ranked #66 and #16 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart, respectively.
