Mariska used to sing in a punk band called Oheisvasara. She has also lived in England, where she studied ancient Greek and Latin in university. Her English friends produced her first demo, called "Tee ze", which she took to the record companies in 2001. In summer 2002 she moved back to Finland to record her debut album Toisin sanoen, and her songs got played in radio a lot. Her second album Memento Mori was released in Feb 2004.
In 2004 Mariska performed her song Mari-Johanna in TV. The song raised fuss about its lyrics. The song can be understood in two ways: either it's about a woman or - this is where the fuss was all about - it's about cannabis.
In August 2005 Mariska released her third album Suden hetki. The critics say it's far from hip hop, but they still liked it.
From 2010 to 2013 she led a band called Mariska & Pahat Sudet (English: Mariska & The Bad Wolves). The band consisted of Mariska, Jaakko Jakku, Klaus Suominen ja Luis Herrero.
Mariska's biggest hits have been Tarkasta Tämä (2002), Anteexi (2002), Murha (2004) and a duet with Lord Est Hellä Ori (2005).

Mariska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En pääse putoomaan kun mullon sanataide
Ja jos horjun, alas tipun,
Siitä rampana kirjoitan paksun nipun
Papereita, nää sanat mun pelastajat,
Ilman niitä oisin hajonnut jo ajat
Sitten, jättänyt jälkeeni verivanaht,
Ruumiini päälle vedetty valkoiset lakanat.
Parempaa kuin seksi kun pakottaa ohimo,
Raiskaan lauseet, runkkaan tavut,
Aktin jälkeen vedän rauhoittavat hermosavut.
Joku väittää, etten oo aito
Mut mullon sydäntä ja haluu sekä taito.
Jos pahaa tahdot, juonia punot,
Se ei tehoo muhun koska mulla on runot.
The lyrics of Mariska's song Skit reveal her personal struggles and how she uses her talent for wordplay and lyricism as a means of coping with them. She describes herself as a "support pillar" and a "railing on a steep cliff," but she also acknowledges her vulnerability by saying that she would fall if not for her "word art." She goes on to describe the power of her words, saying that they have saved her from mental breakdowns and even death.
Mariska emphasizes the importance of her writing as a means of expression and release, stating that it is more important to her than sex. She explicitly talks about "raping sentences" and "masturbating with syllables," which may be interpreted as aggressive or sexualized language, but is more likely intended to convey the intense passion and emotion she puts into her writing. She ends the verse by asserting that even if someone wants to hurt her, they cannot because she has her words.
The entire song is a testament to the healing power of art and creativity, and how writing can be a source of strength and resilience in times of crisis. Mariska's lyrics are raw, honest, and introspective, revealing a vulnerability that many listeners can relate to. At the same time, her fierce determination and unwavering belief in the power of her words make this song an inspiring anthem for anyone who has ever struggled to find their voice.
Line by Line Meaning
Mun tukipylväs, jyrkänteen kaide
My pillar of support, the railing on the cliff
En pääse putoomaan kun mullon sanataide
I can't fall when I have the art of words
Ja jos horjun, alas tipun,
And if I stumble, I fall down
Siitä rampana kirjoitan paksun nipun
From there, limping, I write a thick bundle
Papereita, nää sanat mun pelastajat,
Papers, these words are my saviors,
Ilman niitä oisin hajonnut jo ajat
Without them, I would have shattered long ago
Sitten, jättänyt jälkeeni verivanaht,
Then, leaving behind a trail of blood,
Ruumiini päälle vedetty valkoiset lakanat.
White sheets pulled over my body.
Primääritarve, intohimo
Primary need, passion
Parempaa kuin seksi kun pakottaa ohimo,
Better than sex when it forces the mind,
Raiskaan lauseet, runkkaan tavut,
I violate sentences, I jerk off syllables,
Aktin jälkeen vedän rauhoittavat hermosavut.
After the act, I take calming smoke into my nerves.
Joku väittää, etten oo aito
Someone claims I'm not genuine
Mut mullon sydäntä ja haluu sekä taito.
But I have heart and desire and skill.
Jos pahaa tahdot, juonia punot,
If you want to harm me, you weave plots,
Se ei tehoo muhun koska mulla on runot.
It doesn't affect me because I have poems.

They always look and sound like they on drugs when they together but it's just they love each other's company and they just always acting like kids. They both kids at heart. It's so cute to see.

Everyone around them is always like “should we leave?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Annon_Rhi
I'm so obsessed with this. The most subtle love connection ever that makes the audience feel like it's just in their heads, wishful thinking. Until Marishka nonchalantly explains that Benson has loved Stabler for many years 🤯
