Jimmy Roland
 

Biography

He's a singer extraordinaire. He knows just when and how to make you feel the joy, happiness, pain and all other emotions that he may be feeling, when he delivers a song. He was born in the small town of Taylor, Texas on September 14th. For the first thirteen years of his life, he was raised by his grandparents, Emma and Anthony White. This Virgo now makes his home in sunny southern California, where he enjoys the beach often or long walks in the mountains. Although his musical influences as a child were planted in Gospel soil, this R&B/Pop artist enjoys performing everything from Rock to Disco-House. His music switches from tear-jerking ballads to floor-quaking bass filled Dance tunes. Ladies and gentlemen, meet...Jimmy Roland!

Although this artist has shared main-stage billing with top names such as Sheena Easton, Patti LaBelle and The Village People to name a few, in addition to being a performer, Jimmy Roland has many other credits. These include songwriter, vocal arranger, actor and writer. In 2007, a song with lyrics penned by Jimmy, reached Number 1 on a popular Sirius Satellite Radio station's Top 20 charts. During the same period, another of Jimmy's compositions "My Jamaica" peaked at Number 22 on Dance charts across the USA. Less than two years later (January '09), Jimmy penned the lyrics to another song that he entitled "Got To Be Real". "Real" reached the Number 1 position on the popular Internet Dance radio station, iDanceRadio.fm's Top 175 Songs Chart. Eight months later, in September 2009, "Real's" music video made its broadcast premier on MTV's Logo channel, premiering along with videos of artists Madonna and R. Kelly.

Jimmy has worked with producers from all over the world, which is why his name is becoming internationally recognizable. Jimmy is currently preparing to reenter the studios soon to make new music. He will be collaborating once again with the team of Dr. Kmer and Castaman "Joy", both gentlemen based in Italy and the producers of "Real" (a great team). There has also been talk of Jimmy possibly working with another new producer from the San Franscisco Bay area as well. Jimmy is also excited about nearly ending his search for a publisher of his recently completed autobiography. The book has a current working title "The Way It Was, The Way It Is!". We expect to hear of its release at some point in 2010.

In closing, we must say that if you've never experienced Jimmy ROLAND "live", it is a MUST that you do so. He gives his all on stage and it is apparent to everyone that he enjoys including the audience in on the fun. A class act indeed!
