Roland Clark

Roland Clark is one of house music's defining djs as well as voices. Born in Newark and raised on the New York scene, he wrote and sang "I Get Deep", the record that turned a frustration with where the music was heading into a genre standard — lines from it were later sampled by Fatboy Slim and Katy Perry. Across three decades he has recorded as Urban Soul, Jesus Jackson and South Street Player, and his writing and vocals have gone out with David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Black Coffee and Duke Dumont. He works a room as a DJ and as a live vocalist, often both in the same set.
