Biography
Mariska began to play piano in Sibelius-Akatemia at the age of 7. She soon changed her style to punk and joined a punk-band called Oheisvasara. Mariska moved to London in 1998 to study Latin and old Greek in university.
She returned to Finland in 2002 and her first album "Toisin sanoen" was released the same year. Mariska's second album, "Memento mori" was released in 2004, and the third, "Suden hetki" followed in August 2005. The latter two were nominated for Emma Awards.
Mariska & Pahat Sudet
More recently Mariska switched genre teaming up with Jaakko Jakku, Klaus Suominen and Luis Herrero. The new formation was named Mariska & Pahat Sudet. The self-titled album Mariska & Pahat Sudet was released in May 2010 and characterized as punk jazz and blues pop spiritual.
In recently dying her hair red Mylene Farmer-style, she enhanced her image for the release of her 2012 album Kukkurukuu, which has thus far spawned the singles "Liekki", "Kukkurukuu" and "Kuolema on kalamies".
