About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see what's going on in the world with my own eyes - to find some cool people to jam with, rock n roll style.

ABOUT ME

I was born to a theater family, with my mom, dad and brother being actors - and I became the black sheep. Lived in an old house built for veterans in 1946 at the outskirts of the town. Music has always been a part of my life as I was forced to play some instrument - piano and drums were my mains. Nowadays I only play the guitar and sing. Used to do also a lot of sports, but in my early teens when I was introduced to alcohol and women... well you can figure out the rest. Turned into some kind of punk rocker half way through 8th grade. Studied music in 2006-2007 after which I attended restaurant school to become a chef. The summer of 2011 I did my part for the Finnish Defence Forces as a militarypolice squad leader which took 362 days. For those who doesn't know, it is a must do in Finland also. The reason why I wanted to do MP was simply cause it was the most versatile education available for me. Not that I would be a war-fanatic, not at all. After this I worked as a chef for two years before I started my journey, cycling from Stockholm to Gibraltar. This took a turn and I decided to ditch the bicycle and continue with alternative methods to travel. Why? I bought a guitar in Hamburg and started to do street music and I can't carry it on my bicycle.

I consider myself as a thinker, optimistic though a bit cynical from time to time. Happy? Yes, at the moment at least. As much as I love to be out in a pub or a cafe - sitting by myself thinking about life or having discussions with someone about everything I also enjoy being out with friends. Love the nature - amazed by architecture and cities. Hate the mainstream - enthusiastic about alternative. Decided to stay neutral in politics, though I support whatever is best for everybody, and what that is remains a question. Even if the so-called best candidate seems like a good bloke, he or she might just as well be the worst. How do we know before we actually know for sure. I hope our generation sees what the older has done wrong, and act on these basis for the profit for everybody. Rather be a harmless hippie, observing middle-man than a greedy corporate douche. There's three sides on a coin, believe that.
