Jesse Markin

The career of Jesse Markin, who shot from The Megaphone State to a solo career, took off with the release of the 2019 album FOLK. Markin collected two Emma Awards, a Teosto Award, the Femma-Femma Award for the Most Outstanding Artist of the Year, and the Album of the Year at the Indie Awards.

The Liberian-born Finn’s success has also been noted by the international media. Markin has been featured in NPR, American Songwriter, KEXP, Fault Magazine, Afropunk, Complex, Clash Magazine, and CQ Japan. With his live album, Markin’s success has taken him not only to domestic festivals but also to European stages at Eurosonic, Iceland Airwaves, and Ja Ja Ja London.

Currently, Markin is working on his third studio album with producer Totte Rautiainen. The new album, called PUMP, will be released in the fall of 2024. Markin is also competing as a contestant in the 2024 UMK contest with the upcoming album’s second single release, Glow.
