About Me |
|
| I’m an 18-year-old guitarist hailing from the grim and frostbitten land of Finland. I’ve picked up guitar several years ago, but started taking it more seriously just a few years ago. I’m mostly a self-taught player without almost any kind of formal musical training. Besides guitar I also play piano/keyboard, which is an important part of my writing process. I also handle the recording and production of my songs. As far as the musical influences go, Guthrie Govan and Paul Gilbert are probably the most audible ones in my playing. I’m also an ardent fan of electronic music and I try to mix some elements from it with my more jazz/funk oriented songs. |
