AMSTERDAM, Oct. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- International performer Mikko Rautiainen will return to Holland's Got Talent on Friday, October 18, for the qualification round. Known for his nasal recorder performances, Rautiainen gained broader public attention after his previous appearance on the show, which has gathered over 5 million views in 10 days on social media.
In his earlier performance, Rautiainen played popular Dutch songs, including André Hazes Jr.'s "Leef" and Mart Hoogkamer's "Bacardi Lemon." This performance also earned him a Guinness World Record for the most performances in Got Talent franchises worldwide, with appearances in 10 different countries.
In the upcoming episode, Rautiainen will present a new act combining recorder music, comedy, and mind reading. It remains to be seen whether this performance will take him to the semifinals.
Background and Upcoming Performances
Rautiainen, who has overcome challenges with alcoholism and homelessness, has been sober for six years. He has spoken publicly about his struggles and the process of rebuilding his life, hoping that his story inspires others facing similar difficulties.
Following his appearance on Holland's Got Talent, Rautiainen will perform at the Kleine Komedie Theatre in Amsterdam on Monday, October 21, as part of Lady Marmalade's 16th-anniversary celebration. The event, titled Lady Marmalade & Friends: IN OUR PRIME!, will feature several cabaret and drag performers. Rautiainen will perform his nasal recorder act as part of this event, which combines elements of comedy, music, and cabaret.
Future Plans
