'''Percy Romeo Miller, Jr''' (born August 19, 1989<ref>[http://music.msn.com/music/artist-biography/romeo.6/ Romeo on MSN Music] ''MSN''. Accessed [[July 31]], [[2008]].</ref> in [[New Orleans, Louisiana]]) better known by his [[stage name]] '''Romeo''', formerly '''Lil' Romeo''', is an American [[entertainment|entertainer]], [[actor]], and [[basketball]] player. He is the son of entertainment mogul and entrepreneur [[Master P]] and nephew of [[C-Murder]] and [[Silkk the Shocker]]. He has so far released three [[studio album]]s and two [[compilation album]]s. His fifth album ''[[God's Gift]]'' was released on [[December 12]], [[2006]]. He attended [[Beverly Hills High School]] in [[Beverly Hills, California]]. He has also been awarded a full [[athletic scholarship]] to play basketball at the [[University of Southern California]], starting with the 2008-2009 season. Recently, Miller was named spokesperson for The Los Angeles Earth Day Festival and along with his cartoon creation, Gee Gee the Giraffe, will educate millions of children about the importance of conservation and social responsibility.<ref>([[April 24]], [[2008]]).

==Biography==
===Music career===
He achieved success by breaking [[Michael Jackson]]'s record of the youngest person to get a number one hit with his first single "My Baby". His success came from his two early studio albums, mainly ''[[Game Time]]''. He recorded the album all by himself, at his home studio, which was featured on the show ''[[MTV Cribs]]''. Romeo released a third album titled ''[[Romeoland]]'', with guest appearances from [[Master P]], the [[Rich Boyz]], and [[Solange Knowles]].

===Basketball career===
Romeo was invited in the Summer of 2006 to the Reebok-sponsored ABCD Camp, considered the premier basketball camp in the United States. The [[Teaneck, New Jersey]]-based ABCD Camp is an invitation-only basketball showcase previously attended by high-profile players including [[Tracy McGrady]], [[Kobe Bryant]], [[Stephon Marbury]], [[Carmelo Anthony]] and [[LeBron James]]. Surrounded by future NBA players such as [[O.J. Mayo]], [[Derrick Rose]], and [[Kevin Love]], Miller looked out of place and averaged less than 2 points a game throughout the camp. This was a prime example of the fact that Romeo got there on his father's connections with [[Sonny Vaccaro]]. ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' made an article on March 8, entitled "A Hot Prospect," cites Vaccaro, the longtime director of the ABCD Camp, as explaining, "he invited Romeo Miller to the 2006 camp, primarily as a favor to Percy Miller, whom he knew from the club basketball circuit." In the article, Vaccaro indicated, "If you're looking for the profile of an athlete who plays basketball at USC, he's not it."<ref name=wsj>Jon Weinbach ([[March 7]], [[2008]]). [http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB120485166974418241-lMyQjAxMDI4MDA0NzgwNTcxWj.html A Hot Prospect?] ''The Wall Street Journal''. Accessed [[July 28]], [[2008]].</ref>

On [[April 13]], [[2007]], Miller verbally committed to the [[University of Southern California]] (USC) and signed a letter of intent on [[November 19]], [[2007]]. Miller, a 6'0" [[point guard]] at [[Beverly Hills High School]], a four year starter averaged 13.9 points and 5.6 assists per game during the 2006-2007 high school season.<ref name=Frost>Antracia Merrill-Moorings, [http://www.frostillustrated.com/full.php?sid=1125 Lil Romeo to shoot hoops for USC], ''Frost Illustrated''. Accessed [[May 6]], [[2007]].</ref>

According to ''The Wall Street Journal'', it appears the decision to grant Miller a full scholarship at USC was largely driven by his relationship with friend and teammate [[Demar DeRozan]], the 6-foot-6 All-American forward who was rated as the number five prospect in the country on Scout.com. ''The Wall Street Journal'' reported Coach Floyd as saying, "Last April...Percy Miller called while driving both players from a tournament in Fayetteville, Ark...Percy Miller said 'Demar and Romeo are ready to make their decision, and would you like to have them both on scholarship?'...'I said absolutely.'"<ref name=wsj/>

==Acting career==
Miller started his acting career with the 2003 film ''[[Honey (film)|Honey]]''. His character was Benny, a young boy looking for a break. In this movie, he co-starred with [[Jessica Alba]], [[Mekhi Phifer]] and [[Zachary Isaiah Williams]].<ref>([[November 19]], [[2002]]). [http://movies.about.com/library/weekly/aahoneynews.htm It's a Wrap for "Honey"] ''About.com''. Accessed [[August 29]], [[2008]].</ref> In another 2003 film, he made a cameo appearance in ''[[Max Keeble's Big Move]]'' as himself.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0273799/fullcredits#cast Max Keeble's Big Move (2001) - Full cast and crew] ''IMDB''. Accessed [[August 29]], [[2008]].</ref> Also in 2003, he starred in his own TV show called ''[[Romeo!]]'' on [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]]. He co-starred with his dad in a movie called ''Uncle P'' in 2005.{{Fact|date=August 2008}} He also starred in another movie, ''[[God's Gift]]'', which came out in 2006. Recently, he made a cameo appearance, as himself, in ''[[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]]'' as a rapping coach for the teachers.
