ROLAND & THE ROOTS RIDDIM

Influenced by musical greats such as Al Green, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, and Ray Charles, Roland’s music, which is inspired by his own life, focuses on his belief in the power of forgiveness, positive thinking, and the potential for greatness within us all. His electrifying stage presence, coupled with his inspiring messages, and melodic vocals, allows him to truly connect with his audience.
