About Me

Finnish native, but have spent last 10 years here in U.K trying to make a honest buck from music. My main instrument is Drums (I have been playing them since I was a termite) and all different sort of hand percussion (African,Latin,Arabic,Indian,Celtic,etc.) but Im known to play a track or 2 on various other instruments too. Most of my time is spent doing band and session work (The Goondocks, Pest , Martin Newnham , Matt Chandler, Saffrolla sounds , Maneki, Joe Webb, etc. ) or Writing and Producing for my own little label (Watch this space) or for Film and TV soundtracks. I also have about 70 humble (and not so humble) students of drum fu almost every week, so keeping busy. In last 15 years I have performed in over 20 different countries and worked with styles varying from Modern Classical to Electronic Death Metal and Acoustic Jazz to Bluegrass Funk!!! Recorded with DJ's, MC's, Singer Songwriters, Pianists, Strings, Brass, choir and more also tried to write a piece of music by hitting pretty much anything....
