Who’s Ramo Dajaneiro?
Ramo Dajaneiro is a artist from Detroit Michigan. I was influenced by hip hop in the mid 80's with movies like “Crush Groove, Beat Street and Breaking (with Turbo & Ozone). I love how Run D.M.C. rhymed off each other in they’re songs like Walk This Way, It’s Tricky and Dumb Girl. I can remember the first time I saw LL Cool J’s I’m Bad video or Public Enemy’s Bring The Noise and thinking wow. The music just hit me in a different kind of way and I could feel what they was saying plus I liked the music. My biggest influences came in the early 90's when the west coast had taken over hip hop. Groups like N.W.A., Ice-T, DJ Quick, Above The Law, 2Pac, The Dogg Pound and Too Short made me say I want to express myself more and tell people my stories to.
What’s the method at the time of writing a song?
I don’t really have a method when I write. Sometimes I’ll be sleep and wake up with lyrics in my head or I might make a beat and hear a hook first then build around that. A lot of times I get inspired by the things I see, it can really be anything but there’s no real method I follow. I usually just try to let things flow.
What are your music influences?
My biggest music influences are 2Pac, Ice-T and I would have to say Jimi Hendrix. I like 2Pac because he sounds so free in his rhymes. He would give so much emotion to the point it felted like he was talking to you personally. He came off to me as a artist you could approach and he wouldn’t act all Hollywood on you. I enjoy Ice-T because he’s a great story teller to me. He’s stories was just so vivid and to the point. He really didn’t try to hit you with punch lines or crazy metaphors. He just hit you with so much game. What can I say about Jimi Hendrix, he’s the best guitar player to ever live. Way ahead of he’s time and died to early. You can ask any guitar player from back when he was living to guys just picking up a guitar today and they will all say he is the best ever. I want to freak people out with music like he did. I want my music to be a experience like he’s.
Searching For Paradise. How was the recording and writing process for this record? How you came out with the album’s name? Any official release date in mind?
The process of recording Searching For Paradise is going smoothly. Although the more music I make the more the album changes. I came up with the title Searching For Paradise because I feel like in Detroit It’s kind of hard right now and I think all of us are looking to find some type of paradise. I’m looking to release Searching For Paradise this fall.
So what has been the funniest moment you have been or took part while touring or playing a show?
The funniest moment I had doing a show was when I was in this group and we had a show at this club in downtown Detroit. It was packed that night. A lot of people came out to see us perform. We had this song we remixed N.W.A.’s N**ga’s 4 Lyfe and its like 7 of us rapping on it. So we get to the part with Da Genus on it and he was feeling it, doing a good job and he gets to the end of his verse and stage dived into the crowd and they parted like the red sea LOL! He jumped up back on stage so fast nobody had time to laugh but I was in the backside of the stage cracking up. He came over to me and I asked him if he was ok lol. He said yeah but I think I f**ked up my wrist.
Are there any plans for the future we should be aware of?
I’m going to release Searching For Paradise this fall and I will began to start writing for my next album At War With Myself. I’m looking to doing some festivals this summer also.
Where can we find more about your music?
You can find out more at my website ramodajaneiro.bandcamp.com.
Do you feel you are moving on the right direction?
I definitely feel like I’m moving in the right direction. Everything just feels good for me right now. The music is flowing and my fans are growing pulse I’m getting great feed back and support from good people such as you guys here at Vents Magazine. - Vents Magazine

Bio
Creative, diverse, raw and passionate, Ramo is the type of hip-hop artist that can alter his style over any groove. His colorful commentary paints lyrical pictures of street life or can be relatable in his expression of everyday life.
Ramo's current project "R.A.MO.: Running All Mutha fucka's Over" is an ode to the take no prisoners approach to life he adopted while recording and producing this album. It is a raw, but hopeful commentary of a young man that knows firsthand life is what you make it. But it doesn't stop there. Ramo stays working on new music with another album release slated for early 2013 and new singles in between.
Born in Buffalo, NY, raised in Detroit, MI and having lived in Atlanta, GA, Ramo's music is as diverse as the cities he has called home. If you were to put his iTunes on shuffle, you would be taken on a musical ride from 2Pac, Nas and DMX to Jimi Hendrix, Frank Sinatra, Fleetwood Mac and Prince. He has also taken note of the music scene during visits to Barbados, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. These influences are sprinkled through his flow and self-produced beats, coming together to create a sound that is familiar and fresh at the same time.
Ramo's music can be found ramodajaneiro.bandcamp.com, on iTunes, Amazon.com and other digital music outlets.
