Waldo's People

About

Waldo's People is a Finnish eurodance band formed in 1998, fronted by Marko Reijonen - known simply as Waldo - who had already scored a gold-certified solo album in Finland in the mid-1990s. The band broke through with their debut single 'U Drive Me Crazy', the first Finnish video to enter MTV Nordic's daily rotation, and went on to land two gold albums before representing Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow with 'Lose Control'. Active ever since, they remain a fixture on the Finnish live circuit and released a string of new material through their appearance on the TV series Vain elämää in 2024.
