Tuomo & Markus is a soulful duo consisting of Finnish musicians Tuomo Prättälä and Markus Nordenstreng. Their music is a melting pot of American roots music and Nordic noir – a blend of deep and reflective songwriting with echoes of folk, soul, and classic rock embedded within their sound. Tuomo is primarily known for his work in soul and jazz circles, while Markus has made a name for himself as the frontman of the rock band The Latebirds. Together, they form a synergistic partnership, crafting contemplative melodies and harmonies that suggest a shared lineage with the great songwriters from both sides of the Atlantic.

Their creative collaboration began in earnest during a visit to the United States, and since then, Tuomo & Markus have been steadily releasing material, showcasing their deft craftsmanship and innate musicality. Their array of releases such as “Dead Circles” and the reflective “Hearing Voices” exhibit their penchant for creating music that is not only thought-provoking but also emotionally resonant. The duo's ability to invoke a sense of wanderlust and inward reflection is captured through their live performances and recordings, which often feature collaborations with other accomplished musicians, adding layers to their already rich sound. With works like "Vanity Blinds b/w Political World" and “E-Studio Live,” they continue to build their reputation as the connoisseurs of a distinctly transatlantic musical expression.
