At just 18 years old, singer, songwriter, and guitarist Rome Ramirez met the band that shaped his childhood—Sublime, never imagining he’d one day help carry their legacy after the tragic passing of frontman Bradley Nowell.

Reborn as Sublime with Rome in 2009, the group went on to release four studio albums and ignite stages around the world, all powered by Ramirez’s unmistakable voice and fresh creative fire.

Beyond the band, Rome’s talent has carried him into collaborations with a wide range of artists—from Selena Gomez to JLo, The Dirty Heads and Enrique Iglesias.

Now, he’s carving out a bold new chapter with his EP Gemini, featuring the breakout single “Slow & Easy” with The Dirty Heads—a track that’s climbed its way into the Top 10 on Alt Radio.

Rome stopped by the LifeMinute studios to talk new music, new chapters, and what’s next.

This is a LifeMinute with Rome Ramirez.

After 12 incredible years, Food Network’s The Kitchen has come to a close — and the show's star Katie Lee Biegel is ready for what’s next. We caught up with the beloved chef and TV personality at the American Ballet Theatre Gala in New York City, where she opened up about this new season of life.

“I think it’s really about taking a moment and figuring out exactly what you want,” Biegel shared. “It’s about finding what’s meaningful to you — and your motivation behind it.”

Of course, we couldn’t let her go without talking food. For fall, Biegel is all about hearty comfort dishes and seasonal produce. Think braised meats, cozy soups, and rich stews that warm you from the inside out.

And when it comes to happiness? Biegel keeps it simple by putting family first. “I love being with my daughter, my husband, and our dog more than anything,” she said.
