The Writer and Songpoet

Since 1975 Roland Zoss has been singing about the longings of a generation for emotional warmth and open-mindedness about the world. As a sensitive singer, close to nature. A gifted lyricist he often glides ahead of time on the wings of poetry.

Roland Zoss is a narrator and soft rebel who goes his very own way, creating gentle songs that open the doors to your soul. He is a man moving between the cultures of Europe and the world, between words and sounds, between children and grown-ups. His poetry and music thrills many not only in Switzerland, but also in Germany, Australia and the USA. He lives on a tiny Aeolian Island.

The Children's musician, singer and producer

Roland Zoss becomes very popular with the lovely Album trilogy about Swiss mythologies and the mouse Jimmy-Flitz. In 2010 the Jimmy Flitz became a Swiss stamp and in 2012 an App. Roland produces since 1999 with many Swiss singers, and international labels as Putumayo.
The cheeky mouse flies as musical ambassador for kids on board SWISS International Airlines.
