About The Legendary Roland K. Syria (Maestroland the DJ, Engineer, Prophet) for The Audio Light Club

Journey of the Musical Genius The Legendary Roland K. Syria (Maestroland the DJ, Engineer, Prophet) for The Audio Light Club (aka The Roland K. Syria Show)

This native of New Jersey began his musical journey as a musician in the Jersey City school system. The journey began as he played in the marching bands, jazz ensembles, and orchestras of the city's educational system. In addition, he played with local bands which backed up groups such as Tomorrows Edition.

After arriving at Rutgers University's Livingston campus, he was inducted into broadcasting at their cable carrier station WRLC-640AM. As it was a member of a local band which drummer was James Brown's son lived down the hall in his campus dormitory. The rest is now history.

With the contemplation of pledging his second semester, he joined the interest group of a campus social fellowship. With the band's public address system, a small collection of vinyl and two turntable setups at Douglass campus Blake Hall auditorium birthed the mobile experience and history again was made.

Between the radio station and the mobile party episodes for the campus organizations, his second semester launched the career of this music programmer and engineer. As a result of major promoters bringing concert events with artist such as Jean Carn, Labelle and Parliament Funkadelic to the campus gym, he played for those in attendance and this brought attention to club promoters.

It was not until the transfer of a Brooklyn College student to Rutgers that the real connection was made. His new friend being knowledgeable of the New York underground and the music industry caused him to be eventually introduced to Richard Long and his systems. This was how the love for the sound technology got even more embraced. Taking an electronic course at a local vocational center brought out further a hidden talent for technology. So, now we have the DJ that meets the engineer.

As it was El Castile in East Orange assisted with the next leg of his musical journey. Eventually setting a standard in both club and mobile arenas, he became a major force to the dance experience. His list of the New Jersey club scenario put a number of the "back in the day" clubs on the map such as The Cheetah (Paterson), Cosmos (Newark), Club 88 (East Orange), Elks Clubs (Freehold and New Brunswick), and The Cave (Old Bridge) in addition to spotlights at a number of legendary clubs.

As life would have it, he took a hiatus from the club arena to return back to the terrestrial broadcasting while maintaining DJ services, event production, audio visual integration (commissioning/installation/service), and stage & rental service. Over a span of three different decades at WRSU 88.7FM, New Brunswick, NJ he focused on the creation of "The Audio Light Club" radio broadcast. The program aired in overnight and presented the most progressive urban/house/EDM format known to the industry. As a pioneer of gospel house and sanctified dance formats once again he sets the standard for the mix and makes history.
