Short introduction

Roland Kaiser is one of the most famous German pop singers. He celebrated his first successes in the mid-1970s. Roland Kaiser has been married to his wife Silvia for the third time since 1996. The two have two children together. Kaiser also has a son from his second marriage to Anja Schuete.

Early years and first contact with music

Roland Kaiser grew up in post-war West Berlin with a foster mother. His birth mother became pregnant when she was 16 and gave the baby up for adoption after birth. His foster mother had sole custody. After leaving school, he completed an apprenticeship as a car salesman, which he successfully completed in 1969. In the car dealership where he did his training, he later headed the advertising department.

In the early 1970s he worked as a telegram messenger. Since money was very tight, he was already working as a pop singer at that time. He performed in pubs and also at weddings. The successful music producer Gerd Kampf discovered him at one of these performances.

Career

In 1974 Roland Kaiser released his first single “What has become of her”. Roland had his first sales success with the single “Sieben Fassers Wein”. The song reached number seven in the German charts. With “Schach Matt”, another single release from his third studio album, he achieved another commercial success. The song stayed in the charts for a total of 11 weeks. In 1980, Roland Kaiser took part in the German preliminary round of the Grand Prix Eurovision. However, he only reached twelfth place here. Since then, his career has gone uphill.

highlights of his career

In May 1980 he released his most successful single “Santa Maria”. The song stayed at number one in the German single charts for 5 weeks. The title developed into an absolute super hit in Germany. To date, over 1.2 million singles have been sold. The song was also a #1 hit in Belgium and the Netherlands. The single went double gold in all countries.

Other big hits by the artist include the following singles: “Midnight Lady”, “To Love You”, “Joana”, “I Think It’s Going On Again” and “Love Me One Last Time”.

Of course, this is only a small part of Roland Kaiser’s complete works. Kaiser has become an integral part of the German music world. His titles are hits with heart and mind, but at the same time invite you to sing along. He also has a large following among younger audiences, which not every 80’s pop star can claim to be. Roland Kaiser is rightly considered the most successful pop singer of the early 80s. He also wrote lyrics for famous colleagues such as Nana Mouskuri, Milva, Peter Maffay and the band Karat.
