A recent biography reveals that Muska Babitzin has always been overshadowed in one way or another.

In his biography published on Wednesday, Muska Babitzin says that he has never wanted to be branded a tragic figure in Finnish rock.
But it has happened to him, for Muska has always been left with his popular, dramatically dead singing brothers, Sammyn and Shadow, Shadow.
When stories have been written about Musk himself, especially in recent years, they have been victorious in one way or another.
Muskka’s name, for example, rose to the headlines in 2014 when she said she had applied for an artist’s pension for many years and had always received a rejection decision. Muska suspected the rejection decision was due to racism, that is, his Russian roots.
In 2015, however, Muska was awarded an artist’s pension.
For one reason or another, Muska has also not been listed as worthy of the Republic’s most prestigious celebration, the President’s Independence Day reception.
Finnish rock became salon-ready at the latest when Juice Leskinen received an invitation to the Castle party. In the late evening, though, Juice caused a stir by smoking in public areas and wrapping his tie around his head.
Over the years, the male rockers have, one by one, ended up on a tailcoat under the crystal crowns of the Presidential Palace.
Bright party Martti Ahtisaari as a guest celebrating its 30th anniversary in 1997 and the second invitation came at the early stages of the Masters project a year later.
Maarit Hurmerinta has been seen in the Castle many times and has also celebrated Virve Rosti and Even Jonna Tervoma, among other things. According to the biography, Muska could not be less interested in the matter, but he was not seen in the Castle even in 2015, when he appeared Sauli Niinistö at elections.
Muska has not been asked for the Life Only program either. Admittedly, he is reportedly not even interested in:
– I wouldn’t go to that program. I don’t enjoy being in that crowd and I can’t cry all the time. I am sociable only in our own gangs, he states in the book.
It doesn’t always go down the tube with TV shows anyway.
In 2017, Muska was invited to Yle’s SuomiLove program.
The producer contacted me and asked if Muska would like to participate with his song Write on the postcard. Because Muska liked the program, it was easy for him to agree to stand.
Soon he was appalled to hear a more detailed plan: the song would be performed Osmo Ikonen and he was desired to sing only the last chorus. It’s as if an artist with a long career couldn’t perform their first hit completely.
Spouse and manager of Muskan Hande announced that keep your program without Muska.
