Roland Kaiser

About

Roland Kaiser (born 1952 in Berlin) is one of Germany's most successful Schlager singers, with a career spanning over five decades and more than 90 million records sold. His 1980 breakthrough single "Santa Maria" remains one of the genre's defining tracks, and hits like "Joanna" and "Verdammt, ich lieb' dich" have kept him a fixture in German-speaking pop culture ever since. Beyond music, he is known for his social and political engagement - he has been an SPD member since 2002 and serves as ambassador for several charitable organisations.
