About Us:
Roland Entertainment,LLC is base out of Galena Park / Houston, TX and is a music entertainment company that provides a wide spectrum of services: indie record label, artist management, artist development, music publishing, marketing/promotions, music video producer, school concert producer and bookings. In 1996, Rolando "Jovan" Cuellar, founder/CEO of Roland Entertainment, began his professional music career as a recording artist with Houston's first Latin pop/ freestyle/r&b group "PHAZE 3", which the group parted ways in the Fall of 2003. As managing partner for "Phaze 3" he created a buzz for this innovative group among a couple of music executives. He was able to present his work as a songwriter and as a performer. During the release of Phaze 3's debut album, Rolando was also A&R and songwriter for Cruces Records and involved with the release of the label's first artist, Maria Cantu. To Rolando's credit he received the opportunity to complete his music business internship with Beyonce's/Destiny's Child) management/label. In the spring of 2004, Rolando officially launched Roland Entertainment with emphasizes of developing and managing the careers of positive/clean hip-hop/rap artists. He believes that Latin acts from Houston in the pop/r&b/hip-hop/rap/reggaeton genres can receive national and even worldwide recognition in the mainstream markets. Those are big shoes to fill but will accomplish through dedication, determination, perseverance and his faith in God. His first artist, teen hip-hop/rap artist "Baby Jay", has received national attention for his positive/clean hip-hop/rap music. Rolando saw a need for new direction in the hip-hop/rap music industry and took on the intiative of developing and managing Baby Jay. A risk he was willingly to take because he strongly believed in his vision and the huge positive influence Baby Jay could create throughout the country, especially to our youth. Like Baby Jay say's on his song "Hate is Over(Today)" ft. David Enriquez - (It's a new movement in motion) and there's no slowing down and stopping them now! David Enriquez is also currently in the studio working on his debut EP with some very talented music producers
On May 4, 2007, Rolando produced the first of a kind "Perfect Attendance Concert" in the state of Texas or in the country and the follow up concert on May 16, 2008 received news media coverage and on that same day teen rapper Baby Jay became the first rapper and youngest in USA history to receive the Key to the City of Houston. These unique concerts are to assist school districts to increase their attendance and for some a tool assist them decrease the drop out rate. Concerts have been successful! Baby Jay has been very instrumental to these unique concerts and programs because of his one of kind educational component. Rolando is currently working on expanding his efforts and he prays and ask God to grant him the wisdom, strength, and knowledge to continue to make a positive impact in the music industry. Rolando now has another angel in heaven to watch over him and his acts as he continues his vision, which Kolor Blynde will always be a part of. RIP Kolor Blynde. He strongly believes in the city for which he and his acts were born and raised in, and believes it can compete along side of Los Angeles and Miami as the capital of Latin American Music.
