Life

Roman Geike was born in the East Berlin district of Köpenick . Musically he was influenced early by the Rik De Lisle Show on Radio RIAS 2 . At the age of 15 he wrote his first rap lyrics. He completed an apprenticeship as a media designer . During a winter vacation in the Czech Republic, he met two musicians from the band Maladment, whose singer he became shortly afterwards. Despite a record deal with BMG , he soon went his own way again.

He turned to drum and bass and became a member of the high-tech crew. In 2003 Geike met techno producer Jan Driver , with whom he recorded the single Ladies Want It in 2004 . In the following year, however, he turned to Schlager under the pseudonym Romano . He later contributed the vocals for pieces by Bolt, Siriusmo and Oliver Koletzki . Together with Jan Driver, he produced the album Blumen für dich under the pseudonym Romano in 2009 , which was released on the Wellenschlag record label. In 2013, Geike appeared in Siriusmo's music video Itchy / Cornerboy .

In 2015, he published the single Metalkutte, written together with Jakob Grunert and Moritz Friedrich , under the pseudonym Romano . The Romano album Jenseits von Köpenick was released on September 11, 2015, and the Copyshop album on September 8, 2017 .

In 2016 he played the role of the criminal Marek in the film We Are the Rosinskis .

Since 2018 he has also worked as a presenter for the Berlin radio station Fritz , where he has his own section ("When Romano calls") on the program Blue Moon .
