JUST SPEND IT





An artist with the dedication, determination and talent of Rome Alexander only comes along once in a lifetime.



An artist with the dedication, determination and talent of Rome Alexander only comes along once in a lifetime.





Working behind the scenes before he found his voice, he showed exceptional versatility, producing and writing songs in several genres comfortably including Pop, R&B and Jazz . He never shied away from mixing a lit bit of either with a little bit of another, and the results were nothing short of impressive everytime.

Now as an independent artist, the Pittsburgh, US native in his mid-twenties manages to stay at par with some of the world's popular acts on national and online music and radio charts owing to the same top notch production, songwriting and versatility he showed from the beginning, collaborations with top producers and songwriters, and of course his God-given vocal talent which is constantly evolving and blossoming to reveal more beatiful sounds as the years go by. Topping Amazon and iTunes R&B and Neo-Soul music charts right from his very first releases, "Mine Again" and "Bring Me Back" in 2012, he inevitably received recognition and offers from top players in the music industry and secured a solid spot on the R&B music radar - now anyone who knows anyone wants to be first to know what Rome's working on, what he's up to and what his next move is going to be.



His latest release, Spendin' was released on the 17th of January, 2017 and is expected to be even more successful than his previous releases.



Spendin' is currently available to stream and download for free on Soundcloud and will also be available on iTunes and other retailers shortly.

With a unique, refreshing and utterly uplifting blend of Reggae, Pop and EDM , and a host of high profile independent releases featuring some of the hottest and most popular urban musicians in the world from Sean Kingston to Akon, Honorebel's fans are never more than a click away from the party playlist of their wildest night out's dreams.

The Jamaica-born, US independent reggae artist whose recent song with Calvin Harris and Rihanna, What You Came For is still riding high on EDM charts is always working on something new.

His moniker, Honorebel - from the words, Honor and Rebel, remains the key to his success and the basis for everything he does, as he explained when his career was first launched. Honor from always staying humble, and Rebel from the fighting "warrior" spirit that sees him emerge triumphant from the toughest of situations, the very same spirit that took his music career to the level it has reached now, often sharing the same stage with Jamaica’s biggest dancehall acts and the world's most famous.

After a very successful feature on Mono & Vassy's track with Pitbull last year, Honorebel is back with another one with Pitbull, this time with the Jump Smokers featured.

Now You See It, the new single is available to download on iTunes and other major music retailers.
