A rap artist from Finland.

Seremoniamestari (whose real name is Matti Nousiainen) was born and raised in Espoo, but moved to the west side of Tampere to study theatrical sound design. He released several demo tapes before finally getting a record contract with Spinefarm Records' Ranka Recordings sub-label.

SM doesn't take himself or his music 100% seriously, and doesn't pretend to be an african american gangsta from Compton. He also uses his native tongue instead of translating his thoughts and fighting with pronounciation using English. Maybe because of this fact along with his funny lyrics taken from real life, he is gaining popularity beyond the usual hiphop crowd.

SM's music is produced by one of the most talented Finnish DJ teams, Skillsters. His debut album also features visiting artists such as the notorious Petri Nygård.

In case you were wondering, the alias Seremoniamestari is the literal finnish translation of master of ceremonies.
