Romina Johnson known for the monster garage hit “Moving Too Fast” remixed by the Artful Dodger a uk number 2 chart penned in the year 2000. Romina was born in Rome, in 1973 into a musical family. In the 1960 her father left the United States to travel the world to pursue his career as a musician. He started as a bass player, and by the 1970s was an accomplished solo singer, well known in Italy and throughout Europe, having sold over 12 million copies throughout his recording career. Romina’s parents were both avid music lovers who’s music collections contained many genres, including Soul, Jazz, Funk, and R&B. As a result, songs by artists like Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Anita Baker, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, The O’Jays, Earth Wind & Fire and Prince (just to name a few) were among her earliest influences… and so even from a very young age, Romina knew that she wanted to become a singer too. By age 12 Romina had begun touring part time with her father as a backing singer. By age 20 she’d joined a band called “Second Floor”, and signed her first deal with Rossiter Road. There she recorded her first EP… then a duet single with her father entitled “Love and Happiness”. Then in 1998, she recorded her debut solo album entitled “Simply Passion”, which included the original [pre Artful Dodger] version of “Moving Too Fast”.
