Finnish rapper-turned-singer-songwriter Jesse Markin has nurtured a reputation for universal excursions through indie-pop, Rap, RnB, and African folk – a soundscape beyond any genre limitations. Hailing all the way from Viljakkala – a small all-white community village in Finland, Markin is no stranger to feeling isolated. Growing up having attracted unwanted attention as a young black boy; Markin faced an identity crisis and seeked comfort in things that reflected his internal battles. Making a conscious decision to do things differently, he studied the English language through the world of Music, TV Shows and Films and eventually developed a fascination for US Rappers, which soon became an escape for him.
