We arranged his first deal w/ Warner Music, and it’s been quite a ride ever since. He’s released 2 albums and several certified GOLD radio hits over the past few years, including ‘Normipaiva’ which was hailed as the #3 biggest song in Finland of 2010. You can purchase his latest single at the link below (Finnish language version) — GO ASTE!!!
