I am a Czech singer-songwriter living in Finland.
I write songs for people and about people. And other living organisms.
My debut album “Doses” was released in March 2012 by ZeitART Music.
I have played gigs in Finland, Czech republic and Austria (Carinthia) so far.
My live set-up varies from solo to septet. Right now I mostly tour with my beloved quartet.
Other projects
Tune Toaster
Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä raha
A little bit about me
I was born in the Czech republic and grew up in a block of flats in the midst of industrial coal mining area. Because the air was polluted I spent most of my childhood at home playing my piano and writing songs.
Little did I know I would first have to learn Finnish in order to become a musician.
And I had to move to Finland to get a recording contract in Germany.
Life is so logical 
At the age of fifteen I fell in love with Finnish language after hearing two Finnish words on tv. I started teaching myself Finnish as a hobby and four years later I ended up living in Finland and studying Finnish at the University of Jyväskylä.
At the same time I met many amazing Finnish musicians so I started playing here and there. Later I moved to Helsinki and formed my own band. After getting a degree in Finnish language I worked in an office for a while but then I decided that it was not for me. My whole being was screaming: music music music!
And so here I am “sunbathing” in the north of Europe and playing my tunes for you, guys.
I hope you enjoy them! :-*
