It has been a while since I’ve told you friends any news from my life, so I decided to write you a little recap. I know someone of you have maybe wondered that what have I done these past few moths but believe me, I’ve been more than busy, which is the way I like it.

As you might know, I’ve been playing with Kartsy and we have been doing some shows during the spring. I have to tell you that I have really enjoyed my time on the stage again. All thou the stages hasn’t been stadiums, playing ROCK is the thing. And I think the band really kicks ass! Some folks have came to our shows even from Germany(!) which has been so awesome. I cannot say enough thanks! We have been also tuning some news songs too with the band so there is already more than enough for one album

I told you last time that I was also writing some own material. That project is now in a status that we’ve pretty much finished the songs and we’re about to start to record them. I’m getting help from some pretty cool people so I’m really looking forward seeing what comes out of that. We have so preliminary schedules for that too but they are not to be published yet. Who know what happens tomorrow.. It’ll be, at least for starters, my solo project with me doing the vocals and guitars, but I can evolve to anything. I’m building it brick by brick.. I’ll tell you more details later in the summer or early fall.

And on top of that I can tell you that the absolutely latest news in my life is that my lovely kids (Matias & Maija) got a beautiful baby sister last week. The whole family is fine and feeling great, even dad So in that sector alone there has been a lot of hassle. And it might not stop in a while..

I just want to say to all the wonderful people who have kept on supporting me these past moths; I cannot thank you enough. You are the main reason I have had a strength pull my self through. We will see us again, for sure.

And naturally a special thanks to the lovely girls in the FC team. I keep wondering how you have the time to do all the things you do

Stay cool!
