Interested in music since childhood, he played drums, wrote songs and sang on his first band. At eighteen he discovered the bass, and formed “Manhattan”, a light jazz band, and then “Ruido Blanco” with journalist and musician Óscar Sárquiz, who introduced Sabo to Guillermo Briseño, (musician, poet) and Ricardo Ochoa (musician and producer) starting the recording and production of many records with many tours in the mid-1980s.

Romo was a founding member of Caifanes in 1987, recording three albums with BMG and touring all over the world with them; he left the band in 1993 and performed his last live concert at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City. He also produced artists such as Aleks Syntek, Benny, Ely Guerra, Gandhi (Costa Rica), Moenia, Tania Libertad, and the Jaguares[1] ... and has sold 10 million copies. Sabo has been declared “The best latinamerican Bass Player”.
