A Great Big World & Roland Join Forces

Grammy-winning duo A Great Big World is excited to have teamed up with leading musical instrument manufacturer Roland Corporation. Longtime fans of Roland's equipment, band member Ian Axel currently plays the Roland RD-800 Stage Piano while Chad King plays the Roland JUNO-DS Synthesizer.

Described by Ian Axel as "feeling like I'm playing an actual living thing," the Roland brand is a perfect fit for the duo whose emotive piano-heavy pop-rock have taken them from their friendship at NYU to winning a Grammy with Christina Aguilera for their top 5 collaborative Billboard hit "Say Something" to currently touring nationally alongside Matt Nathanson and Phillip Phillips.

The duo is also promoting their latest single "Won't Stop Running," an ode to never backing down in the face of adversity, initially inspired by King's personal real-life journey living with multiple sclerosis.
