About Me

26-year-old drummer/music enthusiast/all-around slob from Helsinki, Finland. I enjoy music and playing drums. I started that at the age 8 and have been hooked ever since. I'm in a couple of bands at the moment and also work as a freelancer.I'm available for all kinds of gigs/bands/projects. Backbeat oriented styles. Mainstream and underground. Solid playing skills. Click track / loop friendly. Live and studio experience including performances on national tv and radio. Played shows in 14 countries. Professional gear. Professional attitude. Easy to work with.

My Interests

Music, drums and drumming, pop, rock, soul, funk, (alt.) country, jazz, world music, punk, hardcore, gigs, travelling, riding a bike, movies, reading, good (vegetarian) food, ice cream, record stores, people etc.

I'd like to meet:

Mostly people I know or at least have met in real life. Friends, fellow musicians, bands I like and respect etc. Cool new people can also contact me - drummers and other musicians, punks, hc/sxe-kids...you'll get the idea. I am not exactly collecting "friends" here so I won't be adding random people that have nothing in common with me. Introduce yourself and we'll take it from there.
