ABOUT:

I was born in the very late 70´s in a small town on the southwest coast of Finland. At the age of 11 I got my first guitar and started my first band. Since the mid 90´s, I´ve been strumming the guitar and singing in several punk and rock bands and projects.
During the past years, loads of ideas for songs have been stacked up in my desk drawer. My material is founded on those ideas along with a whole bunch of new ones. I´m not much of a categorizer, but you might say I´m a singer/songwriter who likes to write and perform rock/blues/country/folk songs in different shapes and sizes. There you go.
As all my songs are a result of my voice and some instrument, they´re naturally the tools I use at shows. However, I might have friends jump in at gigs and during recordings.
Keep it simple, Marty
