Whether you call it fate, destiny or even a higher calling, the fact is that some people are born to sing and create music. This applies to Ves Rain, a soulful pop artist hailing from up north Helsinki Finland. Ves also runs a studio and is head of a record label called WLF Music.
Music has been the central theme in the life of Ves Rain (born Vesa Matara) for as long as he can remember. He started jammin’ the piano and playing what he heard at the age of two and performed with a gospel choir all his youth travelling with them around the world. Somewhere between all of this he started playing drums and got his first synth, and began making beats. Now, many years later after producing and composing for various artists, this multi-talented artist is fulfilling his childhood dreams and ambitions recording his debut album.
With “One step closerâ€, Ves Rain’s debut album , he shows his versatility as a songwriter and a producer. His first promo single “I just wanna say†a soulful ballad with touching melodies and lyrics speaking for true feelings hit the radios in Finland in December of 2006 and the video for it started playing on MTV in January of 2007. His first commercial single "Smile for me" - a great feel good summer jam was released in June of 2007 and it got him his first number 1 song in the country. Samsung saw the potential in Ves and they made a long term sponsorship deal with him during summer 2007. Samsung also sponsored his new video for the hit single "Smile for me".
If you were wondering where the name Ves Rain comes from, it's a translation of his birth name Vesa Matara and also a tribute to one of Ves's musical influences "Sade". Matara means rain in Arabic and Sade means rain in Finnish.
One listen to the soulful, edgy music from Ves Rain, it leaves no question that he is the real deal and here to stay. Ves Rain is exited to begin this next chapter in his life and a career filled with promise and possibility. It seems that sky is the limit for this upcoming artist...STAY TUNED!
