It’s the name for this Finnish collective. It’s short for Hi Status Quotes but also for instance Hi Status Quirks and Hi Status Qualified. It’s mostly about good songs created for the love of music. Our collective and the HiSQ band together try to create something special. The genre is of no importance, only that we are satisfied with what we’ve done. Before going to studio we usually know, who is going to sing the song. The Quotes’ music is inspired by words heard in tv series or movies. They can be classic lines or just some random words that suddenly make Erkki hear a melody in his head. Erkki is a big Abba fan, so he likes to play with words and how they sound and doesn’t take them too seriously. The five first Quotes’ songs are being published as an extended play. The Quirks will be something you don’t expect. No need to tell more at this point. Hi Status Qualified is dedicated to an especially good music with no quotes or quirks!

After taking a significant break from music (over fifteen years), decided to give it another swing. Based out of New Milford, New Jersey, USA, recorded a ten-song debut album “Better Now or Never”. Influences from blues, rock, folk, pop, laced with melodies and harmonies. It took about six months to record the entire album at my home studio, with the help of my sound engineer, Les Lovell (The Music Factory – Englewood, NJ). I strongly believe that we should make everyday count and not to take anything for granted. My motivation for doing this project is to bring a little joy and comfort, especially during these challenging times. I believe that it is never too late to pursue your passion and to go for it without reservation.
