Bio:
Over fifteen years of fascination with the world of electronic dance music. More than a decade of hands-on experience within it as a full-time music producer, DJ, and label owner. A skyrocketing career growth from a beginner musician to a traveling artist who rocks stages all over the world and has released six well-received studio albums to date. The title of one of them, "Written In The Stars", might as well be an apt description of Roman Messer's success in the world of trance music.
Still, being one of the top 15 producers in the world according to the voters of TrancePodium, consistently being in the top 100 in-demand artists across all genres for 6 years in a row according to the statistics of 1001 Tracklists - and playing DJ sets at international events like Tomorrowland, A State Of Trance, Dreamstate, EDC, Untold, or Trancemission - isn't only due to Roman's undeniable talent, but just as much due to his relentless work ethic. Hailing from Russia, Roman has worked with fellow artists and labels from all over the world, from Netherlands to the US, and helped jumpstart the careers of other local musicians through his label family Suanda Music. By now, Roman Messer is pretty much a household name for trance fans, and there are very solid reasons for that.
As a producer, Roman Messer has released six artist albums so far which have well over 50 million plays on Spotify, covering a wide spectrum of trance music but preferring the energetic, driving sounds that are a great fit for peak time moments in DJ sets - a sound that was particularly celebrated in one of his albums, "For All Time", released in late 2023 and dedicated to uplifting trance. Be it high-octane fast-paced trance, or thundering basslines of tech and future rave, or something more melodic - whatever the style, Roman's production skills are responsible for some serious anthems. "Serenity"
', his vocal work with Cari, was one of the 15 best tracks of 2019 as voted by the listeners of A State Of Trance. In 2020, he was hand-picked by Armada Music to create an official remix of Armin van Buuren's "In And Out Of Love"; in 2022 and 2023, he released official covers of Delerium's "Silence" and Reflekt's "Need To Feel Loved". His original works and remixes reach listeners both through Roman's own label Suanda Music and through releases on other respected labels in the scene such as A State Of Trance, Armina, Who's Afraid Of 138?., Black Hole, You Love Dance and Soave. His tracks, both vocal and instrumental ones, are a staple in the sets of trance heavyweights. Roman has worked extensively with the likes of Alex M.O.R.P.H., Emma Hewitt, Rocco, Andrew Rayel, Christian Burns, Cari, Richard Bedford, Roxanne Emery, Betsie Larkin, and Christina Novelli, has had numerous tracks featured in A State Of Trance Year Mix compilations that serve as summaries of trance music in a given year, and had a special feature in the official Trance Mission playlist by Spotify themselves to celebrate the release of one of his studio albums. Just about every trance fan in the world has heard his name - over a million monthly streams on Spotify speak for themselves.
