Hello, my name is Martin. I used to live in Vasa, Finland, together with my wife. At the moment we're in Canada, so we don't have a place in Vasa right now. I play music for the fun of it, and for the beauty that it adds to life. I am a member of a few bands, my main instruments being guitar and bass, though I am no master of any of them. Sometimes I also play the trumpet, the harmonica and the drums, whenever I get my hands on them. I also sing in a choir. My latest instruments are a bouzouki, a couple of tin whistles and an accordeon. Those being a result of my relatively new fascination with country music, bluegrass and irish folk music. Every now and then I write a song myself, and record it. Those songs may or may not end up here. Feel free to listen to them, if you want to.

Check out my bands The February Stars and Nicolina & the Crossing Friends. Links below, in the 'friends' list. Oh, and Blank, too. My old band from the punk days.
I wanted to put up more songs here, so I created another MySpace-site for me-little-self. A link to it can be found below, too, if you want to hear more songs.
From late June to sometime during the fall this year I will be in Canada, so it's not very likely I'll record any songs during this time. I'll hopefully write a few, though.
