Bringing a little bit of hope to millions worldwide tormented and afflicted by bullying, 15-year-old Mississippi singer and songwriter CAROLINE ROMANO pays homage to National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month–October-with the deeply personal song, “Inside,” about body image and bullying from her recently released debut HASHTAG EP.To further lend her support, CAROLINE has partnered with PACER for their National Bullying Prevention campaign. You can watch the official music video for “Inside” here.
Produced by Nashville-based Steve Freeman, the song couples delicate guitars and keys with a resounding beat before culminating on the artist’s powerhouse vocals, which carry a thoughtful, empathetic, and necessary message, “Stop believing the lie/Know there’s beauty where no one cares to look.“
About “Inside,“ CAROLINE candidly admits, “It’s basically the story of the struggles I’ve faced with body image and bullying. There was a point in my life where I changed everything about myself in order to meet other people’s standards of ‘beauty.’ I felt completely overlooked-simply because I wasn’t ‘pretty’ enough. I thought no boy would ever like me and no girl would be friends with me unless I looked a certain way. I believed all of the lies.
“One day, I came to the realization that I wasn’t defined by what I looked like,” she goes on. “The real me was on the inside. Dress sizes, compliments, and meeting certain standards don’t make people happy. The happiest people are who they are. I wrote this song after experiencing that epiphany. I want to share this and encourage everyone to stop believing the lies.”
“Inside” has already begun to resonate with listeners everywhere, including fans overseas. Since going to radio, it debuted at #26 on the International Pop Chart and reached #11 on Algoa FM radio in South Africa.
Meanwhile, CAROLINE has been turning heads every time she hits the stage. An energetic, engaging, and empowering performer, she’s shined live alongside superstars such as Shawn Mendes, Kelsea Ballerini, Frankie Ballard, Daya (see below photo), Jacob Whitesides, and more in addition to festival slots at the Mississippi State Fair, Delta Fair & Music Festival, and the 24th Annual Crawfish Music Festival.
Right now, she’s in the process of working on her forthcoming full-length debut, due for release in early 2017 (details TBA). A bold, booming, and bright young voice, CAROLINE stands poised to not only change pop music, but lives as well.
