About me: I have a 25 years of history in making music, playing with different bands and recording. I've had 2 recording deals with my earlier bands, however now independently producing and recording the stuff of myself, my band Soul Corner, as well as the music by other musicians, at my home studio in Istanbul, Turkey.
I'm Finnish by nationality, but I moved to Istanbul, Turkey, in 2004 to teach at a local university, and also to work as a freelance consultant for an international company. It has been a pretty nice experience to stay here and a lot of nice things have happened - unfortunately also some sad ones, like the divorce process from my wife. But I've met many wonderful people here (not only musicians!) and learned something about the Turkish culture too. Istanbul is a rather chaotic city, but I love it.
As you might guess, my problem is not what to do with all that spare-time, because I don't have much of that spare-time! All days long I'm working and earning some decent income to be able to support the most important thing for me in life: MUSIC! And all nights long I'm playing guitar, recording or listening music...I'd love to quit my other works and just concentrate on music, but life of an independent musician ain't easy without regular earnings...as an extra advantage, consider yourself sleeping 2-3 hours a night for some months! But I wouldn't give up a single thing...I will rock 'till I drop...
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone...Independent of your gender, race, nationality, political orientation or religion. I'm always open to meet new and interesting people. But if you contact me and start bombing me with messages, please try to understand that replying might take some time, because I'm occasionally goddamn busy
However, DON'T BE A BITCH/DICK i.e. DO NOT SEND ME ADDS ABOUT ANY GODDAMN PRODUCTS, AND DO NOT SEND ME ANY POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS PROPAGANDA OR I WILL DROP YOUR ASS FROM MY FRIENDLIST WITHOUT A WARNING. I CAN FIND THE THINGS I NEED ELSEWHERE
MY CURRENT MUSIC PROJECTS ARE:
1. SOUL CORNER - My heavy metal band!!! Soul Corner at MySpace We have published 2 albums, the latest one "Partners in Crime" came out in September 2008
2. NANAIMO BARS - Canadian-Finnish rock band with a female vocalist. Currently recording 2 new rock songs. Stay tuned!
3. IZZI RUINS THE BLUES - I play guitar, synth bass and programmed drums on "Bottom Blues", "When the Devil Takes the Lead" and "Blues Came Over Me". We're working on new songs!
