Marko Harinen

Vancouver-born Finnish-Canadian, Marko Harinen has been a musician since his early days. Marko is a drummer with a heavy metal background, who has now embarked onto music production. He began his music career by learning how to play the drums, and in his teens he began his musical path by playing in various bands, and released several albums. Most of his career has been playing the drums but Marko always felt compelled to compose and produce music. He finds music as a way to give back to inspire and motivate people.

He has now incorporated EDM to his repertoire. Having been influenced by classical music, heavy metal, and electronic music, he has integrated these sounds into his new style of writing. Some of his music influences include Deadmau5, Rammstein, and the Trans Siberian Orchestra. You could classify his music as a mix of EDM with a classical touch. His works have an upbeat energy, with more subtle undertones. He has released several full length albums: Pushing Forward, Room at the Top, Unwelcome Gates (Remastered) –appropriately released on the greatest countdown with a nod to Major Tom: 4/3/21– and Marko’s latest album The Initiation. All available through various platforms: iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, YouTube, etc.

Marko has also released Stolen Time (Truth) and Stolen Time (Reconciliation) as an acknowledgement to the Residential School survivors (Truth and Reconciliation), and the magnitude of the global pandemic of 2020.

“The most rewarding result is for the imagination to create and challenge one’s mind, inspiring hope through music.” Marko
