Marko Saaresto Biography

Marko Saaresto is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on December 5, 1970 in Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland.

Saaresto was born in Helsinki, Finland. Saaresto was actively involved in music from a very young age and wrote several of his songs as a teenager. ‘Change’, from the band’s fourth #1 album Twilight Theater, was written by Saaresto in 1990. ‘Maybe Tomorrow is a Better Day’ from Carnival of Rust is even older, dating back to 1988. Saaresto took up a course in graphic design and worked as a graphic designer until he was in his early 30s.

Saaresto formed a band called Playground in 2001, and wrote several songs with them. The songs were compiled into an album but they found no label willing to distribute it, and hence called it quits. Playground’s primary members were Saaresto and Pohjoinen Syke jazz guitarist Olli Tukianen. One late evening in early 2002, Saaresto was approached by Sam Lake, the writer of the Max Payne series of videogames to write the lead single for the second installment in the series, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. Saaresto agreed. Lake gave Saaresto a poem he had written and asked him to make a song out of it. Saaresto modified it, and along with former Playground bandmate Tukiainen, wrote the now-famous single Late Goodbye. To assist them with production, Lake offered them the services of industrial musician Markus ‘Captain’ Kaarlonen. Together they recorded the song and upon the release of the game, the song garnered cult status. Thousands of requests were made by players all around the world to own a physical copy of the song. They then decided to formally create the band and named it ‘Poets of the Fall’.
