Not everyone starts their career with a debut album– released in 1988– produced incollaboration with music industry heavyweights: ‘Mutt’ Lange and John Parr. Indeed, it was only a matter of time before Romeo’s Daughter hit the headlines! Hot on the heels of its success, their whirlwind tour of the US saw their single, ‘Don’t Break My Heart’ shoot up the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart.
Their dynamic and distinctive sound, described as brimming with “poise, pathos, memorable melodic hooks and inventive arrangements” has been consistently, and uniquely delivered over the years by: Leigh Matty (vocalist), Craig Joiner (guitarist, songwriter and producer), Andy Wells (drums) and their latest addition, Steven Drennan (Bass) who joined 2019. With this line-up, Romeo’s Daughter has a pedigree, second to none; with each member having worked
with the likes of: Whitney Houston, Tom Jones, Meatloaf, Jane Wiedlin, Bonnie Tyler, Ronnie James Dio, Saxon,Machine Head, Roxette and John Parr.
Over the years, their infectious music: brimming with power, passion and sophistication– and fronted by Leigh Matty: recently voted in the top 5 ‘Lady Rock
Singers of all time’– has attracted the highest calibre of established artists; with Heart covering their single: ‘Wild Child’ on their 3 million sell-out album,
‘Brigade’– achieving No. 2 on the Billboard Rock All Play chart; as well as Eddie Money, Bonnie Tyler, and Steps! ‘Heaven in the Backseat’– also from their
debut album– also featured as the opening track of the 1990 film: ‘Nightmare on Elm Street 5’.
Romeo’s Daughter initially started with Craig Joiner (guitar and vocals), Tony Mitman (keyboards), and Paul King (drums), before Leigh Matty joined them after
responding to an advert in Melody Maker
