About Me

Hi everybody.
I'm a freelance musician/saxophonist and a student of Pop/Jazz pedagogy in Helsinki Polytechnic Stadia. I also compose and arrange music for various ensembles/bands.
You can see/hear me playing gigs with all sorts of groups, artists and also solo stuff.
I finally decided to open up my own myspace site.
So I'm looking forward to seeing you all here in the web, but I hope we'll meet in the real world also=).
Keep up the soulful sound!

Terve kaikille. Saxpiippu soi ja musiikkia väännetään kun viimistä päivää.
Pidetäänhän yhteyttä, elikkäs soitellaan!
