ROMANO aka Roman Geike was born in the East Berlin district of Köpenick. He was influenced musically at an early age by the Rik De Lisle Show on Radio RIAS 2. He wrote his first rap lyrics at the age of 15. He trained as a media designer. During a winter vacation in the Czech Republic, he met two musicians from the band Maladment, whose singer he became shortly afterwards. Despite a record contract with BMG, he soon went his own way again.
He turned to drum and bass and became a member of Hightekcrew. In 2003, Geike met techno producer Jan Driver, with whom he recorded the single Ladies Want It in 2004. The following year, however, he turned to pop music under the pseudonym Romano. He later contributed vocals to songs by Bolt, Siriusmo and Oliver Koletzki. Together with Jan Driver, he produced the album Blumen für dich in 2009 under the pseudonym Romano, which was released on the Wellenschlag Schallplatten label. In 2013, Geike appeared in the music video Itchy/Cornerboy by Siriusmo.
In 2015, he released the single Metalkutte, co-written with Jakob Grunert and Moritz Friedrich, under the pseudonym Romano. The Romano album Jenseits von Köpenick was released on September 11, 2015, followed by the album Copyshop on September 8, 2017.
In 2016, he played the role of the criminal Marek in the film Wir sind die Rosinskis. In 2018 he became a regular on Berlin public boradcaster FRITZ, appeared in German TV show Die Tuning Profis.
2023 he again looked deeper into German Schlager songs and released Vulcano Romano.
