ROBERTO DOMINO BASILE
Composer & Lyricist
“If we are fortunate enough to experience the feeling widely known as ‘freedom’, it’s a message from those mortals and immortals before us urging us to leverage that distinct privilege by seeking out and helping those who (through no fault of their own) do not have it.”
Roberto Domino Basile August 2017
“Arbitrarily labeling humans with colors or acronyms such as LGBTQ is a result of profound ignorance.
There is no such thing as black, brown, red, white, or yellow people.
Using colors and ‘behavioral slang’ to describe human beings destabilizes society and institutionalizes bias.”
Roberto Domino Basile June 2019
