I’m an introvert and quite anti-social when I’m not in party mode. I go through phases. It’s either extreme solitude (or so I tell myself) or running around like a loose canon. And I can be very self-disciplined when undistracted by worldly temptations. During those times…

Something a little different tonight. I’m playing a show in a hostel. It’s a pretty cool place. I differentiate between these kinds of events and the longer shows because this is more of a showcase event where people come to see me specifically. I choose the…

Just made a 12 hour deposit into my sleep account! The balance was already negative so this was very important (still recovering from the surplus on fun I had last week… it all comes with a price). Finally starting to feel like myself again. Really enjoy…

Just woke up. Hungover, very hungover. Oh how I love hangovers on a warm day. My belly is aching for some food. Frying potatoes with some Heinz beans, few eggs (sorry chickens for supporting your suffering, I’m a cruel animal I know) and a cold can of…

Tonight I am playing at the great Clayhills Pub in Old Town Tallinn for the first time. I start at 21.00 and will play 3 x 45minutes and I am bringing the piano! Playing my own songs of course but who knows, might throw in a…

Good evening people. I’m looking for some additional musicians to add to my live performances and also to some upcoming recordings. Specifically I’m looking for a cellist, violinist and a few multi-instrumentalists to do different things on different songs (percussion, bass, synth, background vocals, etc). But…

Today I am finally moving to my room in Old Town, Tallinn. It’s a shared apartment with some pretty cool people. I will be living in the heart of one of my very favorite places. I can’t wait! Still got some packing to do. Haven’t had…

I live somewhat of a double life. And these two lives are complete opposites of each other. The troubles come when I am forced to be something in between. It’s my mistake of course when I compromise and I always do when the right person comes…

Got a date with 3 new albums tonight from The National, Daft Punk and Vampire Weekend. Time to put on my headphones, turn off the lights and shut off the world outside. Looking forward to it!

I wrote this song a week ago. It was just one of those that come from nowhere and just flows out, demands to be released. There’s no thought involved at all in the writing process, it just happens, just comes out from… somewhere deep I guess.…

Last sunday I had a delicious brunch with my friends at this wonderful place in Tallinn called Sfäär which also has a very cool clothing store which I visited on my way out. Apparently the girls working there knew my music and wanted to do a…

Been taking it easy in Finland for the last week. Forgot my headphones in Tallinn so couldn’t mix my new song (which is otherwise ready). I’ll try to get it up this week if I can. Playing a little show at an event in Von Krahl…

We all do it. Even when we are talking about how other people do it and how much we dislike it when others do it (and even being the reason for disliking them). See the contradiction? People are funny creatures like that. Same thing with judging…

For some reason I’ve always been a little uncomfortable with birthdays but today (or now yesterday) was a great one so what the hell, mineaswell share some love. The day has taught me many things about life, about people and about myself (like all days should…

Today is my 30th birthday. So I decided to start a blog. I’m a musician/songwriter first and foremost but I do like writing and have been trying to find a way to balance my writing with my music for many years now. Perhaps this attempt will…

This person called Markus is on a creative vacation. The songs will keep on coming however, at least weekly. Maybe even more often. Life is a forever changing scene and there’s no point in holding on to anything anymore. Want to do all I can within…
