1.4. NEW RELEASE
Lenno feat. James Tone “Hold U“ is out now!
Beside’s Sariola’s usual fingerstyle music, he works as a co-writer and producer with other people. He created a soulful old sounding bit of music for DJ artist Lenno, and Lenno flipped this bit into an energetic dance music track. This song is bit out of Sariola’s usual fingerstyle music and therefore it’s released under a different alias. Petteri enjoyed the process and has continued to work with different DJs with this approach so we will most likely hear more James Tone tracks in the future. Regardless of this new venture, rest assured that there is more fingerstyle shows, albums and videos coming up in the pipeline. Stay tuned!
