Mariska (real name Anna Maria Rahikainen, born February 19, 1979 in Helsinki) is a Finnish rapper. She writes her songs by herself, and the lyrics often deal with relationships, male chauvinism and politics. 　　Mariska began to play piano in Sibelius-Akatemia at the age of 7. She soon changed her style to punk and joined a punk-band called Oheisvasara. Mariska moved to London in 1998 to study Latin and old Greek in university.
