Flam first got into music through his father, who was a professional drummer in a traditional finnish band called Hariolax. Through his father, he got interested of playing drums, which he started at the very early age of seven in a local drum-academy. After two degrees in the drum-academy, Flam started to play in different bands at the age of fifteen.The biggest influence of wanting to play hiphop was The Roots live-concert in 1998. That changed the young man..s perspective for good. After that, Flam wanted to go deeper in music and start producing hiphop as well. Flam got into producing through his high-school friend Staffro, who engouraged him to start doing beats. That was around 2001.
Flam learned from the best, because Staffro was already an established producer. In the year 2002 Staffro and Flam met a young aspiring producer Jake The Break and saw his potential. They asked him to join in a production crew with them, which was later named Recluse Crew. As Recluse Crew, they released a collaboration album in 2006 with mc-group Synoptic Pressure ( USA ) called The Art Of Raw Sound. That album was released worldwide through Kool Kat Records ( Finland ) and Timewarp distribution ( The UK ). The reception has been really good and for example in Japan, the album has been very succesfull, topping at number one in Diskunion..s (japanese distributor ) online hiphop-chart in January 2006. The mentioned album has got radio airplay in more than ten countries around the world for example in Japan, USA, France, Russia etc and positive feedback from music magazines in Europe. English music mag the Notion ranked the album as one of the best hiphop albums in the world in 2006.
After the Art Of Raw Sound-project, Staffro made a Kollabo Brothers-album with dj-producer Kool Ski. Flam co-produced one track on that album called “ Watch The Game “ with Staffro and Jake The Break.
Flam has also produced many hiphop-artists from Finland over the years.
Flam is also one of the founders of Recluse Recordings, a production company behind Recluse Crew.
Next project is a producer album with Jake the break, coming on spring 2009. That album features many top notch hiphop - artists from native country Finland! Be on a look out for that!!!
Few years ago Flam did beats with Loost Koos producer / DJ Arsi. They are planning to put those beats together and make it a EP, so keep your ears open, it..s going to be real 90ísh boom bap type of hiphop!!
Flam also continues his radio-shows called Recluse Radio on Bassoradio and Pause on Radio Moreeni.
Be on a look out for Flam, Recluse Crew and Recluse Recordings to make big things in the future!!!!!!
