I'm Lynn Hoffman. Welcome to the Music Saved Me podcast. So glad to have you here. Now, if you like this podcast, thank you so much. And also, you might want to check out our new companion podcast called Comedy Saved Me, which I also host, where we explored the amazing power of laughter. Now, when the weight of the world grows heavy, some turn to friends, others to faith. But for Romeo Vaughn, it's always been music that casts a lifeline. Rising from the borderlands of Texas, the stages of Nashville, Romeo doesn't just write songs. He crafts survival stories in melody. In this episode of Music Save Me, we talk with Romeo about the pivotal moments where lyrics became life buoys, music became medicine, and stories found their song. So get ready to discover how for Romeo Vaughn, every note was a step towards hope and how those songs might just save you too. Romeo, welcome to Music Saved Me.

Lynn Hoffman
Music Saved Me Romeo, I've read that through your music that you want to give hope and inspiration to all children who come from humble beginnings and you know, think that the whole world is in the the deck is stacked against him. Which I think is just such a beautiful sentiment. Can you share a moment when music truly saved you or helped you through a tough time in your life?
- [05:07]
Romeo Vaughn
Yeah, you know, I mean there's music has saved me through it all, but I remember, you know, being from a small town where I'm from In Santa Rosa, Texas, I always had this dream, right? And I remember a family member of mine specifically told me, like, romeo, that doesn't happen to people like us. You know, look at where we come from. Look at what you are, look at how you look. It doesn't happen. It's just not. It just doesn't happen. And so when that day I went to school and there was. My cousin was performing. My cousin, it has this, a Spanish Tejano band. And he was performing for, remember, I don't know if you remember, Mrs. Bush, drug free week or whatever. Oh, back in the day.
- [05:56]
Lynn Hoffman
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [05:58]
Romeo Vaughn
So if you were doing the drug free week and my cousin was performing and I had. There was a barber and her name was Lady Diane. And she said, romeo, if you. Because he was trying to get the kids involved. And he said, she said, if you go, I'll give you free haircuts for a year. And I said, no, I can't do it because I. So before I'm a singer, I'm a dancer. So I went up there and I danced to Michael Jackson. And well, I had just tried out for the football team and I didn't make it. But when I went up to dance, so my cousin had no idea that I danced like the way I danced because I wouldn't really tell anyone. But when I went to perform with on stage for the free haircuts, it actually got me into this music business because my cousin, he's a Grammy award winning artist, he took me on tour with him and it kind of saved me from like the streets and stuff. Like, you know, what teenagers get involved in sometimes. The music allowed me to not be in the streets, not get into gangs and that. And I went on tour with him. And that was a part of my life where it saved me from like, you know, juvenile hall and stuff that all my friends kind of were doing at the time when it was a cool thing to be a bad kid. And so music really got me on that road away from that. So that was the first time music saved me for sure.
- [07:34]
Lynn Hoffman
How have songs served as a form of therapy or self reflection for you personally?
- [07:41]
Romeo Vaughn
Well, for me, songs like we all have our moments where we cry or we're sad and we feel helpless and hopeless. And so instead of going out and driving fast and where I could possibly hurt someone or myself or just going for a bad ride or go going or just, you know, sometimes we take it out on people we're not supposed to take it out on, you know, because hurt People hurt people. And so I, I write and I write and I write it down and I let it out. And my, my binder, where I write my songs, they're like, you know when you wet paper and they're like all mushy. Well, every page is all mushy because I'm just crying as I write. So. But yeah, it helps me. It just really. And I leave the room. I don't really write with like, I don't go into like writes and co write with people. I don't do that. I do write a lot with a friend of mine, but he doesn't live in Tennessee. So I write and I send it to him and he sends it back. But usually when I write by myself, it's just, it helps me because I don't want to hurt anyone. And we've all been in a position where we say something or do something, then you're like, there you go with that long test message like, hey, man, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to react on you like that. I just, you know, I'm going through like a hard time and I hope you can forgive me. So to avoid that, I write and it really, it's a therapy and I don't really like, go to like, like the therapy stuff like, because I, I don't know, I'm just not gonna tell a complete stranger like what I'm going. So I just like. Because I can't give the therapist hope, but I can give. I know that there's somebody out there somewhere in the middle of Burlington, Colorado that's probably going through the same thing that I'm going through. And if they hear it, you know, I'll just give them hope. Wow.
- [09:44]
Lynn Hoffman
I just have to know where this came from. Where you realize that that would be the end result of giving someone else hope by writing down your own issues to get through. I mean, that's pretty forward thinking.
- [09:59]
Romeo Vaughn
I heard Michael Jackson when he would play songs. I'm gonna start crying. But when he would play songs, like when he would write songs down, like the Earth song, when he wrote down they Don't Care About Us, when he wrote down Stranger in Moscow, when he would, when I would hear those. Because we all love the thrillers and the Billie Jeans and the smooth criminals. But you go into those deep cuts where Michael really poured his heart out and like that, it just gave me hope. It let me know, like, hey, you're not alone. There's Michael Jackson, the absolute biggest superstar in the world, and he's lonely and he's. And he's getting through it. I can get through it. And I think that's kind of what made me want to, like, be some kind of hope, obviously, on a smaller scale.
- [11:00]
Lynn Hoffman
Oh, come on. But it's a beautiful sentiment. It really is. And, you know, off the wall, she's out of my life. Like, some of those earlier things, too.
- [11:09]
Romeo Vaughn
Really? Yeah, you know that she's out of my life, you know, just like those, like. And if you Even his upbeat songs, like, like, want to be starting something, you know, like, you know, the way he, like, just does it. I don't know it. Man in the Mirror. I mean, you know, like, just it. Just when I heard. Because I've always been intrigued in, like, who wrote this? You know? Yeah, yeah. And so. And like, Michael Jackson's biggest song, Thriller. He didn't write it. You know, it was Rod. Temp Rod, But. But you hear his. His deep cuts and where he's. He's feeling alone, but he's also giving you hope. And it's just like, I just want to be that hope, you know, And I. That's where. That's where my. The foundation of, like, wanting to give hope and stuff is. I credit it, all of it, to Michael, for sure. Wow.
- [12:11]
Lynn Hoffman
Wow. That's so incredible that, you know, you even knew that at such a early time in your life, too.
- [12:17]
Romeo Vaughn
Yeah, because when I was younger, I'm from a small town and I'm Mexican American, and so boys don't cry. Are you a man or a mouse? You know? Yeah, whatever. You don't. You're not depressed. Go out there and cut the grass. You know, what do you. What are you depressed about? You're seven, eight years old. You don't have no bills. You don't have nothing. But they don't know. Hey, man, like, I mean, look at me. I've been like this my whole life. Like, I. Maybe not like the hat, but I've always dressed different. I've always, like. I had long hair, you know, I. You know, so I've always just been different. So I was never like everyone else. So I always felt alone until I. Music just allowed me to just express myself and just, you know. Yes, yes.
- [13:01]
Lynn Hoffman
You know, speaking of that, growing up with your Mexican American background and now thriving in Nashville, the home country, were there musical experiences that you had or maybe hardships that sort of changed your.
- [13:14]
Romeo Vaughn
Path at all on that journey, like, outside of music?
- [13:20]
Lynn Hoffman
Well, just maybe something musical experiences or hardships, like breaking through that genre?
- [13:27]
Romeo Vaughn
For sure. So when I First moved to town in 2016. I was homeless for 16 weeks. Lived in my car. I lived under a bridge. It's a Jefferson Bridge, which. It's. You can't live there no more. They scooted everybody out. But I lived under Jefferson Bridge, and I used to eat out of a garbage can. I remember I was at the ta, and it's not there no more because they tore it down for a parking lot for the new Nissan stadium. But I was there. And I remember watching. So it's a truck stop. And I. There was a chili. A Philly cheesesteak restaurant in the shop, in the store or whatever. And I would remember that watching the truck drivers, they'd come out. They would come out with their. With their leftover plates, and some would take it with them, and some would throw it away. Well, I would wait till they threw it away, and I would just wait till they walked away, and I'd run over there and grab it from the trash, and I'd go back and I'd be like. And I would just eat it down. And all because I believe in this. I believe that I was supposed to be here. And, you know, the Bible says, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, and the Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want. And I believed it, and I still believe it. And that's what made me just keep going. Because, you know, somebody told me one time, who's your favorite country singer of all time? And I said, keith Whitley is my favorite country singer. And they said, do you want to be the next Keith Whitley? And I said, no, I want to be the first Romeo Varr.
- [15:17]
Lynn Hoffman
Great answer. Wow.
- [15:20]
Romeo Vaughn
And. But I understand. And I understood then and understand now that I had to go through it. I had to. You know, I always. I. My dad always, you know, you know, stand your truth and fight for what you believe in. Stand over what you believe in, whether you're right or wrong. And if you're wrong, be prepared to pay the consequences. And so I believed in this, and I believe in it so much. And I always just told my. You know, because in that time, I was alone. But I believe in the music. I believe in the hope that I could give somebody. Somebody out there if I just got through this. Just get through this, and your story will be full. And, you know, the hardest walks. You know, the hardest walk you can make is the walk that you make alone. But that's the walk that builds character. And. And I. And I always said, you know, the hardest climbs lead to the greatest views. And so I. I just stayed firm. I stayed strong. And it was always about the music. I didn't care what I was going through. Music was going to get me out of there. Music was going to get me. And so I went to this place after that, and I. Because I always had this mindset, and it has, like, I was like, the lion is the king of the jungle. It's not the fastest. That's the cheetah. It's not the biggest. That's the elephant. But the reason why the lion is the king of the jungle, because the mindset, there's nobody hungier than the lion. So I always said that to myself, do you stay hungry? Stay hungry. You want to kill alligator? Feed him. It does nothing. So be like I always told my dad. He was like, why are you still there? You're struggling. And I'm like, dad, listen, you don't understand. He's like, my dad's a realist. He's not a dreamer. He's like, I understand this music, Romeo, but come on, son. Like, you're. You're. You know, you're. You're nickel and diving me to death here. I said, dad, you got to understand that I. That the wolf on top of the hill is never as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill. I always got to remain the wolf climbing the hills. And after I was homeless, I went to this place called. They Found Me on. I went to the VA because I'm a. I'm a veteran. And the VA put me in this place called Matthew 25, and it's a homeless program for vets and stuff like that. And they. They help you overcome homelessness. And so I went there and they got me out of the bridge and they put me in Matthew 25, and I started writing songs and I started just seeing the bigger picture. I was no longer eating food with ants on it, and I was just like a hot meal, you know? And which is why now I don't like lettuce, tomatoes, or anything like that. Just like, also when I order a cheeseburger, it's just meat and cheese.
- [18:38]
Lynn Hoffman
Romeo, you're just, wow, you're such a special person. It's like you were instilled in your DNA, something that even your father had to learn from you, but he gave you those tools to be strong to begin with as a realist, which is. Is pretty incredible. And your journey has just been. I mean, forget about just getting into a different musical genre than your heritage, which seems so outlandish, but not These days.
- [19:03]
Romeo Vaughn
Right.
- [19:04]
Lynn Hoffman
But to be a vet and to be homeless and part of a population out there that needs so much to have the strength that you had and you, and you really did, you pulled yourself out of it and it's, it's pretty incredible.
- [19:18]
Romeo Vaughn
Well, you know, I didn't pull myself out of it. The Lord never left me. But, you know, it's very hard. It was hard. You know, it was hard. Looking back and thinking about it, it was hard. But my dad always said this, and it's good, good thing that you brought that up. My dad always said, when you leave my house, you will have every key that you need to open the doors in life. Now it's up to you to take the time to find the key. You're gonna, you're gonna get frustrated and you're gonna want to knock the, knock the door down and. But if you just take the time to find the right key, you open whatever door you want. And so when I was homeless and I was eating out of a garbage can, sleeping outside and getting rained on and, you know, getting mugged and watching crimes the normal people shouldn't be watching, I remembered that if I just take the time and find the key, I'll get out of it. And I did.
- [20:25]
Lynn Hoffman
Yes, you did. And writing a song called Big Dreams from a small town that reflects sort of your own journey and the challenges that you've just described and faced. Is that correct in saying that?
- [20:39]
Romeo Vaughn
Yeah. So I'm from a small town of Santa Rosa, Texas in the Rio Grande Valley. Deep, deep, deep South Texas. Like the very tip of Texas. Mexico is 12 minutes from my parents house. There was 27 seniors in my graduating class. I was top 10. I don't want to brag or anything.
- [20:56]
Lynn Hoffman
You brag, you deserve it. Brag all you want.
- [21:00]
Romeo Vaughn
Oh, but yeah, so I got big jeans from that small town, you know. And so I wrote the song with my friend, with my friend Brandon. And he had the idea of like that he came up with like the melody and stuff like that. And you know, I, you know, I added, you know, we started running back and forth and it's where it came from. Santa Rosa, Texas. I mean, it's, it's my hometown. And I wanted to be like Mike, but not Jordan.
- [21:30]
Lynn Hoffman
I love all those inferences you're giving.
- [21:32]
Romeo Vaughn
And so that's where I, you know, Big dream from a small town. I got big dreams. I got big dreams. But here's the thing. The dream is not. I mean, who doesn't want to play a sold out stadium of course, that's all good. But the dream is I was in Jonesboro, Arkansas not long ago. I got a random DM in my Instagram and I opened it and I had, I had this, I had wrote, released this song a long time ago called Gone. Nobody ever heard it, but this one person did. And he said, I know you don't know me from Adam, but I just wanted to tell you that two weeks ago I was contemplating on suicide and I came across your song Gone. And it let me know when the song you're going through what I'm going through right now. And hearing your song, I told myself, if Romeo can survive, I can too. So I just want to thank you for saving my life. That's the dream. That's all I want to do.
- [22:48]
Lynn Hoffman
That's all you want to do.
- [22:49]
Romeo Vaughn
And I want to bring. And I just, I, you know. We shot the video for Big Dreams from a small town. So the place that took me in was called Matthew 25. Last year for my birthday, I had shout out to the restaurant Chewy's. They, they don't. They donated all the food so I could go and feed the feed Matthew 25 and I, with God's help, I was able to get like 1575 gallon bags full of clothes and we went to donate to Matthew 25. And this year we went back and shot the music video for big dreams at Matthew 25. One of my greatest friends, his name is Ryan Mason, he works at a place called Scoreboards here in Nashville. He's the GM and they, they donated food so I could feed Matthew 25 in the video. And so it's the dream to just give hope. And we were, and I was able there. And you know, I told them, look, I know looking at me, you don't, you probably would never believe me, but I was where you are. It wasn't long ago. And I prayed over them and we fed them and we, we, we talked and we laughed and we cried and two of the men came up to me and helped me live out my dream. They said, romeo, you're just, you gave us so much hope. That's my dream.
- [24:16]

Welcome back to the Music Saved Me podcast.

Lynn Hoffman
I have to say thank you so much for, for, for your service not only to our country, but to the people that you're helping with your music. And it seems like this is what you were really put on this earth to do. And, and you, I can hear it and feel it from you. Even through the zoom call. I can, I can really feel it. Do you think music is one of the reasons that you, you have been able to cope with the pressures of the industry itself, which I'm sure is a whole new world for you to be in or maybe even just self doubt or personal setbacks in your life. And I know we touched a bit on this already.
- [28:39]
Romeo Vaughn
You know, music has, has been everything. Music saved me so many times. For instance, a lot of times I feel sad and I'm down and oh my God, maybe I can't do this, maybe I can't make it or whatever. I pop in a Sugar Land song. Dear mom and dad, I'll send money. I'm so, I'm like, I love it. So you know, music just, it's all around just, you know, all around just really, really helped. Like it just saved my soul. I mean I can't imagine my life without music even, like, even if I'm not telling my story or I'm not out there, you know, putting songs or writing songs. Just the fact that I can, I'll pop in like and, and where I'm from in Texas, where I'm from. Photo 956. Where I'm from in, in the valley of Texas, you know, we go from Keith Whitley George straight to Usher Ludacris and oh Wall, you know, so like I I'll be at home sad and I'll pop in a, you know, a George Drake song or into Cavne song or, or a La Mafia song, Keith Whitley song and, and I just, it's like I feel like a Tesla of energy.

You know, it's amazing. We, we are run on, on electricity but we don't plug in. So I'm guessing maybe one of those plug in sources just as you said. That is. It's got to be the music and, and the arts that we plug into that that juices us up again.
- [30:19]
Romeo Vaughn
Yes. You know, or I hear. I, I do listen to a lot of like worship music a lot. You know, shout out to brand and. But you know, I love all the, I love the music that, that brings me closer to God and, and, and I read my Bible a lot and you know, the, the Bible. The one thing that I always, when I think like maybe I can't do this or maybe it's too hard. I'm a Mexican American and, and I don't look like everybody. Even the, the Mexican artists that are out there now, they're wearing the cowboy hats and they're wearing the boots and you know, I'm not that, you know, and don't get me wrong, it's where I'm from. My dad was a, my dad was a rodeo cowboy. And the reason why I don't wear a lot of that stuff is because growing up my dad put, he put this in a flat top curl snap wrangler and some Justin boots. And my whole life, my whole life was like that. You're like new. I refuse you rebel.

And then your unexpected. This is, you know, country music with a twist and faith and rock. I mean you do the guitar solos that are completely not normal. Like I shouldn't say not normal but not, not expected.
- [31:50]
Romeo Vaughn
I'm glad that you noticed that because I tell my producer all the time, like, do we have to do this? Like the guitar has to be. And a lot of people don't understand how much I love Michael Jackson. And when Michael Jackson put and did it, when Van Halen came in and tore it up. Yes, that's where I'm going.

Lynn Hoffman
Gosh, you're thinking like Run DMC meets Aerosmith days.

Romeo Vaughn
You know, that's pretty cool. So I try to do that. I try to just think outside the box, you know, no pun intended. But it's great.
- [32:24]
Lynn Hoffman
It's a Great way to think.

Romeo Vaughn
I just have to be. Because here's the thing. There's 7 billion people on earth. There's only one you, one me ever was, ever is, ever will be. Like the Heavenly Father designed us perfectly. God, don't make mistakes. Now here. And the reason why I try so hard in this and to. To. To do this music and to do it right. And because I believe in my heart of hearts. And I'll take my glasses off and tell you that I believe that our gift, our talent, your talent, my talent, everybody's talent is God's gift to us. But what we do with it is our gift back to God. And the one thing that keeps me going is in Matthew 6:33, the red letters, Jesus says, seek first the kingdom of heaven, and all things will be added on to you. I believe that. I really do.

I feel like I want to just end on that note because it's so powerful. But I have one more question that might I believe, be even more powerful, and thank you for that. That I know everybody needs to hear. Faith. Everyone has to have faith, and everyone has to have a belief.
- [33:54]
Romeo Vaughn
I believe that because if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

I'm making a T shirt right now, Romeo. That is so amazing. But my last question to wrap things up with you. If you could share one message besides the beautiful one you just shared, and all of them throughout this conversation have been so enlightening. But if anyone's out there struggling right now, what would it be that you could share for that one message? And what song of yours would you want them to hear to help them through it?
- [34:28]
Romeo Vaughn
I want them to hear not only big dreams from the small town, but I have a song out there, and it's called Over. The song talks about a breakup, but if you hear. If you see the video, you hear the song, it's about a guy who's struggling with his own self. So I play two parts. I play good me and bad me. And because I overcame, I, I, I, I overcame. This road wasn't easy. This industry, this town is not easy. And I, you know, I, I'm actually one year sober on the 26th of July.
- [35:11]
Lynn Hoffman
Congratulations. That's huge.

Romeo Vaughn
And so, you know, overcoming that addiction and stuff. And if you hear this song over, if it says, this is where we start or where we end, but I'm not getting over you again. And so the biggest hope that I can give anyone out there is, you don't have to believe in God, but even if you don't. He loves you. There's hope. But you have to love. Learn to love yourself. Learn to forgive yourself. You are not your mistakes. You are not your failures. Every day that you wake up is another opportunity to be better than you were yesterday. And I'm going to say this, and I don't know if I have enough time, but I'm going to say this. If somebody gave you $25,700 every day for the rest of your life, but you only had 24 hours to spend them, you can't roll them over. You have to spend them. Wouldn't you do the best to spend that $25,700 in those 24 hours? You would do your best to spend that money well in Life. We get 25,700 seconds. We can't roll them over, we can't take them to the next day. All we get in 24 hours. So do your best to spend them. And it's not always going to be easy. It's not always going to be. But you know what? When it rains in life, it rains and it storms. But instead of hiding, learn to dance in the rain. Makes better effects, you know, and just there's hope. Jesus loves you. And if I could tell you anything, the Bible, it says in first Corinthians, it says, stand firm in your faith, be on guard, be courageous, be strong, and do everything with love.

Romeo Vaughn, you're amazing. I can't wrap you up into one word to describe who you are and what you are, but you, you mean a lot to a lot of people and now you mean a lot to me. So thank you for coming on music, save me and sharing your entire self with us. I could talk to you for hours, but I really appreciate you stopping by and, and good luck with everything and again, thank you for your service.
