Jesse Markin has nurtured a reputation for universal excursions through indie-pop, rap, R'n'B, progressive rock and electronic music - a soundscape beyond any genre limitations. Following on from his award-winning debut album 'FOLK', Markin is back to unveil his sophomore album 'NOIR'. 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 sought 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. Markin later spent years as a member of the hip-hop group 'The Megaphone State', who produced three critically acclaimed hip-hop albums. Despite his love for rap, the artist decided to embark on his solo career, developing his style from rapping to singing through universal lyrical themes. This is evident also on his new album 'NOIR'.
