I Do: It’s Darude and Sebastian Rejman

Interviews, Music, Society & Culture

He’s been around for decades and known to most thanks to his massive hit Sandstorm. Nearly 20 years later, Darude is back to take Finland, and his mate Sebastian Rejman, to Tel Aviv.

The lads caught up with Michael to talk about the whole process around creating three songs for Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu, how long it took Sebastian to say yes and the lengths they went to in order to rehearse for the show.

Plus, find out more about Darude’s new single, featuring a talented Aussie singer-songwriter.

Want to see that acoustic performance that the guys talked about? It’s right here for your viewing pleasure.
