BETTER THAN NEVER
An Invitation
Roem Baur is an award-winning recording artist and producer from San Francisco.
He has appeared on The Voice, toured internationally, and performed for audiences around the world. Known for his soaring vocals and genre-blending sound, he has built a reputation for crafting emotionally resonant songs that connect deeply with listeners.
Better Than Never marks his first full-length studio album since stepping into full creative control of his work.
Why this album mattters?
I’m creating Better Than Never for anyone ready to reconnect with what moves them. The spark, the truth, the thing that brings your joy back.
That’s what this record is doing for me. And from the messages I’ve already received, I know there’s something
in it for you too.
These songs are about renewal, presence, and choosing humanity over perfection.
They’re reminders that we’re still here; still feeling, still alive.
When you give, you’re not just helping fund an album…
You’re helping create space for music that reminds us
who we are.
What you’re funding
-
The right team of engineers, musicians, and studio space to capture this music with honesty and intention. Your contribution helps the people behind the scenes feed their families and continue their craft.
-
Beautiful, high-quality vinyl pressings so this record can live on turntables, shelves, and hearts for years. (Yes, it’s finally happening!)
-
The cover art, photography, typography, and world-building that shape the Better Than Never era… the imagery that gives the music a side-kick on it’s journey through the world.
-
Intention takes time to get it right. Social media, behind-the-scenes content, short films, studio sessions, and the narrative rollout that will bring this album to the people who need it most.
And the incredible part?
A $15,000 matching gift is already secured.
Every dollar you give will be doubled until the goal is met.

I’ve always believed art and community go hand in hand. Producing this album with Roem is something I’m deeply proud of, not just for the music, but for what it represents: honesty, beauty, and resilience in a time when we need artists more than ever.
If you were planning on bringing a gift to the holiday party, this is the one that would mean the most to me.
Thank you for being part of my “life resume.”

What You’ll Be
A Part Of
When you support this album, you’re stepping into something more than patronage.
You’re becoming part of its origin story. The circle of people who helped bring a record into the world that didn’t exist before you showed up.
If you’ve ever felt like you were performing life instead of living it…
If you’ve been searching for that feeling that reconnects you to yourself…
If you’ve needed a reminder that it’s not too late to begin again…
this album is for you.
I’m opening the studio doors and bringing you with me:
demos, process videos, voice notes, studio clips, and the stories behind the songs as they evolve.
You’re not just helping fund a record.
You’re helping make meaning - in real time - alongside me.
And I’m honored to have you here.
One last thing…
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence, process, and the power of making something honest together. There will be bumps in the road.
And I feel better about facing those obstacles with you in my corner… so,
💛 Thank you for being part of Better Than Never.
Oooooooh, the muse is alive and well with this one! 🔥❤️ Glimmers are where it’s at! Can’t wait to hear it all!

Welcome back, Roem! Your entire email resonated with me! I have been diligently singing in traffic to help get my spark back and it’s working! “Better Than Never” is such a strong title. Can’t wait to hear the sounds of the studio. Let me know when/if I can be helpful along the way, I am writing and singing again after a long hiatus and it feels way way better than never! 😍

Dude, I'm ready for new Roem music. Truly. A show too. As always, I'm rooting for you. Your latest post read as really hopeful. Grounded. Dare I say, happy. And that makes me happy. Keep writing and sharing. I'm listening.
