Award-winning plus size model, influencer, and content creator Romi Chase has discussed her aspirations of being a recording artist in her YouTube interview, From Riches to Rags to Riches, and has now come one step closer to her dream by covering the Bruno Mars hit, When I Was Your Man.

“Although I have been writing my own songs, I thought for a first-listen and to introduce my voice to the world, a cover of a universally-loved song like When I Was Your Man would get more listeners,” says Romi. “It’s also a big challenge to cover Bruno Mars, but I would like to think I made it my own. It’s such an emotional song, and singing has always been an outlet for me to express my feelings.”
