At 48 years old, Sgt. Remo has taken quite a journey to get where he is today. After moving to El Paso during his high school years, he was introduced to the magical world of reggae music. The genre resonated with him deeply, primarily because of its themes of struggle, hardship, and poverty. Inspired by legendary ’80s dancehall artists like Shabba Ranks and Buju Banton, Sgt. Remo initially explored dancehall and hip-hop before transitioning to the more traditional sounds of reggae.
Sgt. Remo’s journey in music took a pivotal turn while serving in the U.S. Navy. Connecting with friends from Guyana and Jamaica, he discovered his true passion for music. After hanging up his Navy boots in 2014, he settled in San Antonio, where he quickly dove into the local music scene, performing regularly within just a year. At first, his music was fun and club-friendly, but after becoming a father, he began to write songs with a more thoughtful and respectful message.
The Vibratones consists of talented musicians from San Antonio, and Sgt. Remo often shares the stage with his own son, who plays both trumpet and trombone. It’s a true family affair that resonates with many fans who appreciate the blend of personal and musical ties. His vocal style, infused with a unique form of toasting akin to rap, encapsulates his rich experiences and influences.
Realizing the power of music, Sgt. Remo sees himself as an ambassador for reggae culture. His mission? To spread a positive message through beautifully crafted tunes. As his career has evolved, he has gained recognition as a roots-reggae artist whose lyrics are not just catchy but also socially conscious, addressing important themes facing our society. Over the years, he has toured internationally, performing in places like Mexico and Colombia, even recording his music in Chile.
In addition to performing, Sgt. Remo serves as the executive producer for Reggae SoulJahs Worldwide, a compilation series that has already released five volumes. He actively champions other artists on his YouTube channel, which features recordings from both his label, King Remo Music, and emerging talent. Not one to slow down, he also hosts a weekly show, “Reggae Sessions Radio”, on 90.1 KSYM-FM every Friday evening from 7-9 p.m. Recently, he started curating a reggae show for KPSARadio.com, expanding his reach and sharing the love for reggae even further.
With a busy schedule that reflects his dedication to bringing reggae to a wider audience, Sgt. Remo also owns a thriving screen-printing company and operates a custom sound system. His passion for both music and entrepreneurship keeps him on the go, yet he remains committed to his mission of providing uplifting vibes through reggae.
So, mark your calendars, San Antonio! The 2025 Coffee Festival is going to be a spectacular event filled with good coffee and even better vibes. Don’t miss Sgt.
