Marian valinta


My side career as a self-made singer-songwriter begun round 1999 when I started my Marian valinta music project. Since that I’ve been playing in different bands and written folk pop songs.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of my adventures in musical history I re-released the essential selection of my old Marian valinta songs. The songs are available in Spotify and in the other streaming platforms.

The beautiful cover art for the re-issues are made by painter Satu Rautiainen, illustrator Maria Sann and graphic designer Laura Savioja. I designed all the other visual things and layouts. Remastered by master wizard Jarno Alho
I’m so greatful that you made this possible! Big hugs for all of you!
