Juha Mäki-Patola is a Helsinki-based musician / composer / producer. He has been an active member on Finland’s music scene for over a decade, serving as a member of several bands and working behind-the-scenes as a producer, musician, and recording/mixing/mastering engineer for both local and international artists from various genres. All of this experience helped steer his vision towards the type of music he desired to compose and produce under his own name. Inspired by the great modern classical composers of this era such as Jóhann Jóhannsson, Nils Frahm and Max Richter as well as pioneering artists such as Brian Eno, Philip Glass, and Arvo Pärt, Juha began to create introspective and reflective instrumental pieces that sought a specific calmness – compelling but unhurried. With this he arrived on the international scene fully formed with his debut solo record 'Breath' in 2020 released by Hush Hush Records (Seattle, US). The record was met with widespread acclaim, catching the eye of critics and journalists as well as fellow artists. He received a wealth of requests to collaborate on new material, and has in the years since released several collaborative and solo genre-bending EPs and albums, released by record labels such as Moderna Records (CA) and Hush Hush Records (US).

In the spring 2025 he signed with Fat Cat Records imprint 130701 Records, and is due to release a new album ‘Momentary Movements of Landscapes’ on November 28th, 2025.

"Juha Mäki-Patola has mastered his craft over the last decade looking after many other artists. Now it’s time for his creativity to take centre stage. With beautifully crafted releases like this, Juha will be capturing the imaginations and hearts of many modern classical and classical ambient fans for years to come.
