Marko Vilhelm Vuoriheimo (born 26 June 1978 in Helsinki),[2] professionally known as Signmark, is a deaf Finnish hip hop recording artist. He describes his music as being party hip hop that takes a stand.[3] Born into a signing family, Vuoriheimo feels that society should not treat the deaf as disabled people but as a linguistic minority with their own culture and history.[3][4]
