Roland grew up in Odense, same town as H.C. Andersen. In his youth, Roland was a part of the city's hardcore criminal environment and at the age of 30, Roland possessed 10 assault convictions in various degrees. In 2002, after a total of 4 years and 6 months in jail, Roland decided to leave the criminal environment in order to pursue a career in music as a writer. He wrote some lyrics for a Danish movie "Fidibus", which is where Roland came in contact with the movie business.
