Sexmane
Sexmane, whose real name is Max Sene, stands as one of Finland’s most successful and influential rap artists. Hailing from the small town of Siilinjärvi, he has earned acclaim for his raw, honest lyrics and electrifying stage presence, which have made his live performances a sensation. Released in November 2024, his concept album Sanansaattaja (“The Messenger”) reveals a more introspective and vulnerable side of the artist, exploring themes like mental health, religion, and cancel culture.
Sexmane has shattered Finnish Spotify records, at one point holding 18 songs on the country’s Top 50 chart simultaneously. His previous album, Sextape II, went double platinum and ranked as the fifth most-streamed album globally on Spotify the week it was released. His sold-out tour, which concluded in spring 2024 at Helsinki Ice Hall, received rave reviews from both fans and critics.
The new album’s singles, such as Hulluus saa mut huutamaan, Riittämätön featuring Tomi Saario, and the UMK finalist Mania, have already become major hits.
