Paleface, the moniker of Finnish musician and rapper Karri Miettinen, has become a notable figure in the Finnish music landscape for his insightful lyrics and diverse musical projects. Born in Helsinki, Finland, in 1978, Paleface first gained significant attention in the early 2000s with his English-language rap, contributing to the global spread of the Finnish music scene. However, it was his pivot to Finnish-language rap and folk influences that truly marked his evolution as an artist, allowing him to address social and political issues more directly and making his work deeply resonant with Finnish audiences.

Over the years, Paleface has demonstrated remarkable versatility, seamlessly blending genres like folk, hip-hop, and reggae, and collaborating with a wide array of artists, which has kept his music fresh and relevant. Albums like "Maan Tapa" and "Luova tuho" have been critically acclaimed for their lyrical depth and innovative soundscapes. His most recent releases, singles such as "Jonain päivänä (Likis Remix)," "Autofiktio," and "Mikä susta tulee isona (feat. Ylva Haru)," showcase his continued exploration of themes like societal norms, personal growth, and social commentary. Through his music, Paleface not only entertains but also prompts reflection on contemporary issues, solidifying his position as a pivotal figure in Finnish music and a voice of his generation.
