Charlie Romo has two passions: Performing music and teaching it. So it’s no surprise the 23-year-old Tottenville crooner was recently voted “Best Musician on Staten Island" against fellow finalists Vinnie Medugno and Madison Gattullo.

During an interview at ET Studio Productions in Charleston, where he teaches vocal lessons, Romo said he is thankful for the support he has received performing doo-wop, cabaret-style cover songs along with music from the Great American Songbook at “Back to the Beach” and Italian-American festivals around the Island.
