One of the many projects he has been involved in is "Flowerz" by Armand van Helden, from the album 2 Future 4 U from 1998, as well as delivering his writing and vocal talents to the likes of Bob Sinclar, Todd Terry and Roger Sanchez.
He was featured on two Fatboy Slim releases. Probably his most famous hits to date were his collaborations with Fatboy Slim in "Star 69 (What the Fuck)" and "Song for Shelter", both of which sample part of Clark's previous release "I Get Deep" and feature on Fatboy Slim's 2000 album release Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars.
In 2017, "I Get Deep" was once again sampled in "Swish Swish" by Katy Perry.
His 2006 song "Running on Sunshine", which he performed using the Jesus Jackson alias and co-recorded with Fatboy Slim, has appeared in various ABC programming such as Grey's Anatomy and Men in Trees.
Clark is currently a resident of Atlanta, Georgia. Roland has since started a record label Delete Global Records, which is distributed by Strictly Rhythm Records.
