Roland Orzabal is a British singer-songwriter, musician, and producer, most famously known as one half of the internationally popular outfit Tears for Fears which he co-founded in 1981 with Curt Smith. Born in Plymouth, England, Orzabal's family moved to Bath when he was a child. As a teenager, he met Smith and the pair later formed the ska band Graduate in the late 1970s. The five-piece band released one album, 1980's Acting My Age and found minor success in continental Europe, but disbanded soon after as Orzabal and Smith formed Tears For Fears.
