MUSEBOAT FAMILY DAY

The Ässä Records label was launched in 2021. The common thread in everything we do is that the music must be born from the heart and must also reflect the flavor of life. Ässä Records is a small record company born from the love of two people, whose purpose is to promote, produce and publish music in the same spirit as what I do myself", says Bablo. Bablo's singing career began in the fall of 1990 in Helsinki, where Vexi Salmi heard by chance that he was singing blues on the steps of Café Metropoli in the morning, accompanying himself on the guitar. Salmi listened to the young singer in wonder and the men arranged a meeting, as a result of which Bablo recorded a couple of singles.

  JOHN MICHAEL FERRARI

Multiple award-winning entertainer singer songwriter John Michael writes emotional story-telling cross-genre songs with touches of sophistication, raw edged reality, and child-like wonder. His stories relate his life experiences and those of others. Music has been his life. HeI has been working with music producer PEPPER JAY for over 3 decades. Pepper Jay was recently named “Outstanding AC Music Producer of the Year” by the Producers Choice Honors for their crossover single “My Heart Can’t Breathe.” For the same song, John Michael Ferrari was voted “Crossover Artist of the Year 2021” by the New Music Awards and voted “Fan Favorite 2021” by the Independent Music Network. John Michael wrote "Paint You a Love Song" for a friend's wedding day. According to Soundlooks, the Sound Journal, one of many excellent reviews: “ John Michael Ferrari – “My Heart Can’t Breathe” constitutes a high point in the artist’s catalog “The award-winning singer-songwriter, John Michael Ferrari has returned with a generous and emotional single, entitled “My Heart Can’t Breathe”, that suggests a mature, philosophical perspective on painful memories of a broken relationship, without losing his impish sense of melody and taste for lavish organic arrangements. Fittingly, then, it’s a song that takes stock, both lyrically and musically – imparting lessons learned over time and giving John Michael another chance to showcase his versatility as a songwriter, not to mention that gift of a voice, equally impressive as a languid croon, or when reaching resonant heights. It’s immediately apparent that working with producer Pepper Jay, is a good fit. Pepper has created something that has a fresh pop feel, while giving a nod to classic singer-songwriter tracks, all the while curbing any tendency to veer off on indulgent musical tangents, allowing John Michael Ferrari’s voice to dominate, with the support of Tania Hancheroff’s backing vocals. Indeed, “My Heart Can’t Breathe”, is all crisp, multi-tracked pianos, electric guitars and swooning harmonies.” When asked about her many successes, Pepper Jay responds with a big smile, “I am delighted at the positive response to our songs, and excited every time I see John Michael Ferrari on radio charts. It’s a fun ride.”
