His musical sensitivity naturally leads him towards music for the screen, influenced as much by the classical masters as by the giants of cinema that he meets (Claude Bolling, Gabriel Yared, Alan Silvestri, Eric Serra, John Williams...). Endowed with great versatility, he studies tirelessly, trains in writing, composition, conducting and counterpoint throughout the world and begins to write for all types of formations: trios, choirs, various ensembles, chamber music, big bands, but his interest focuses on writing for symphony orchestras with which he will collaborate later, notably those of Budapest, Strasbourg and Moscow. After his baccalaureate, a few years at university, a solid instrumental training and a quick return to the Strasbourg Conservatory to obtain his Prize, Romain took a new step: he founded Pepper Club the band, an elite collective bringing together some of the best French musicians. Under his artistic direction, the group quickly exploded onto the international events scene. Prestigious collaborations followed: Dassault, Disney, Sofitel, Nardis Jazz Club Istanbul, the Ritz, Rotana Dubai… All the group's videos, produced, directed and edited by Romain, demonstrate a keen sense and complete artistic potential. But it was in 2018 that a decisive turning point occurred: he was urgently hired to work on a huge Disney show at the Zénith in Strasbourg. He took over as artistic director and rose to the challenge brilliantly. Performing in front of 7,000 spectators, this success marked the beginning of an adventure that continues to this day: the Disney in Concert tour. Appointed in 2024 as composer, musician, and conductor of the orchestra for the musical "Rififi," he became its artistic director by force of circumstance. The play was a resounding success, performing 25 times to sold-out audiences. His work has been praised by his peers, including the musicians of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, whom he brought in, and at the Musical Comedy Trophies at the Mogador Theater in June 2025. Romain is not just a composer, a performer, or a conductor. Preferring the shadows to the spotlight, he proves to be a formidable project manager capable of conceiving them in their entirety. Between his commitments with Pepper Club the band, his numerous creations, collaborations, and his personal projects, he tirelessly pursues his exploration of music and image with passion, precision, and an astonishing ability to unite talents.
