Heikki is Jari Haapalainen and Maria Eriksson. We started to play together
in 1999, in Stockholm, Sweden. That was the year we met, and the music was
a way of spending time together. We started to record our songs which
resulted in our debut, the mini-cd, HEIKKI. All the recordings were made at our
home using an 8-track recorder and the instruments that happened to be around.

It´s hard for us to categorize our music and we don´t like to do that. But
people often ask...

We are definitely influenced by all kinds of music, currently we're
listening to: Mary Gauthier, Barbro Hörberg, Mary J Blige, Bert Jansch,
Dirty Three, Miles Davis, Brian Eno, The Triffids, John and Beverly
Martin, The Roches, Jim O'Rourke, Kate Bush, Townes Van Zandt, Sandy Denny and
hundreds more...
