Osmo Ikonen is that singer, Brandon is rapper and Marko (Signmark) signs. They all are from Finland.

[wilmayaya]

One other man is rapping, that man is just marking. There's nothing bad, world don't have those much. So, stop disliking.

[seananify]

@sophieverlasting It's not him singing, or raping; just the signing.

[MrWuppe]

Most of the deaf people use their mouth simultaneously with their signing (not singing) to express it more clearly and it's just a habitude..that's why it seems that Signmark "sings" the lyrics but he has a speaker who raps for him...I just love how hands get a meaning in Signmark's music...normally in rap they just wave their hands with no reason.."So put you hands in the motherfu**ing air, and wave the motherfu**ers like you just don't care" - Snoop Digidy Dogg. still loving snoop dogg though!

[celer2010]

Very repetitive.

[freshfighter4]

@celer2010 You don't need to use a lot of words to express a good meaning... a few easy to understand, yet deep words, can make the difference.

[JelloDice]

@sophieverlasting ....... he wouldnt care about not hearing his own voice....... but dude have some respect man.

[UKBlueEyesAngel]

Wow! That's really good! I am wondered where they are come from?

[PinApple89]

@UKBlueEyesAngel they come from finland :)

[slw06131994]

@sophieverlasting Hes not singing, someone else is in this video its the other guy hes signing but he wrote the music! :) Hes still amazing though!

[LiLCme09]

.....so who raps for him?

[Javi8002]

Math Hamill is a deaf MMA fighter BTW

[AssFaceFreaksh00W]

I'm proud to be finnish :)

[AssFaceFreaksh00W]

Proud to be finnish :)

[shiroikasumi]

i don't actually like this song, because this is not my kind of music, but damn! This guy is cool :)

[CPJesusFreak111]

:D Awesome!

[robloxjuancooll303]

I know wat hes signing .. i understand whole ASL

[sufia91]

[AliceInWonderland901]

[GoldenVal88]

Heh. gg.

[signbird]

SIGNMARK FANS ..see him in London Get your tickets for this weekend JUne 4th at HMV Forum to see Signmark

[pompeyboyy]

@Tizzylocomotion yes I have a problem losing ALL hearing (totally) later in life its difficult...And he is 1 sided deaf....not total

[pompeyboyy]

Strange thing is I CANT HEAR IT ? So why no subtitles

[TizzyLocomotion]

@pompeyboyy Because there's sign language throughout the whole video? If you're deaf and don't know sign language, you've got a problem. lol

[dearballer]

he's def a best asl rapper than sean forbes! no question!

[TheCraigo24]

Can't wait to meet him in New Zealand!!!!!! In Two weeks! Will be EPIC!!!!!

[noemiansay]

para quem acha que música não faz parte da cultura surda, Signmark dá um show de competência e prova que o ser humano não tem limites

[signbird]

SignMark is doing first ever UK gig in London on JUNE 4th

[signbird]

SignMark is doing first ever UK gig in London on JUNE 4th

[AtlanaKing]

@signbird really! that is so cool! do you know if they will ever come to the states?

[wikkedjuggalo4lyf]

dis dude is hella good, i want to work wit him

[Zubinina]

So is someone speaking for him?

[rickrex09]

dutch style !

[AtlanaKing]

I wish I could sign as good as him.

[Jeanlucrox14]

Awsomeeeee song

[MrBrody2680]

Now thats actual skill. Never even heard of someone rapping who's deaf.

[wallflowerzeen]

@MrBrody2680 check sean forbes. im kinda in love with him. it depends on how far you are into Deaf culture (ps. its Deaf hun not deaf there is a biiig difference!) as a non signing hearing person you will not understand his points. enjoy

[69DJGENY69]

I love DEAF!!!!! =) I am deaf!!!!!

[SoshoKittycat]

I just have to ask, and I'm genuinely curious here. How does this work? Does he write the rhymes and have someone else rap them, or what?

I'm not deaf, so I don't understand how this is possible, much less how it's as good as it is.

[joaocjc]

Muito legal !!!!!!!

[143Jaci]

How about havin Signmark coming to Canada? Specifically Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada???

[jamarabee]

I love this guy!! It looks like he's dancing, the signs fit so well with the music! (and I'm not even a fan of rap...) I wish I could understand sign language, I bet it would be even better giving a meaning to the signs... It makes me wonder: who is the handicapped one, now??... This is absolutely brilliant!!

[haaalolooh]

great show in tivoli! thank you!!

[liliom00]

Marko, you're great!!! :D

[liliom00]

Marko, you're great!!! :D

[NorwegianKicks]

[Ravintolavaunu]

Voice Of The Deaf People!

[TheScolebank]

I would just like to say i think that it is great what u have done here... This is the first time that my fience that is 85% deaf as ever been able to see what a song is really saying, and for a deaf person to accomplish something of this nature is just amazing we both love it very much.....

[signbrat01]

so catchy I am wearing my hearing aids and I LOVE THIS!!!! I hope you will be so famous sometime soon he is deaf ICON!!!

[69DJGENY69]

[themoneywoman]

[birdcat97]

[takethatify]

@themoneywoman I HATE when people call me death.

[signbrat01]

[IamEminem101]

[Tsunoflare]

Tulin just kevätjuhlista, jossa signmark esitti tän laulun ja "Against the Wall" :)

Toi viittomakieli on jotenkii niin tyylikästä.

[hattarapilvi1]

Signmark ei ole kuuro, vaan huonokuuloinen jonka äidinkieli on viittomankieli (;

[miritachel]

We adore You! You are a great example for us!!! Keep a good job! xxx

[rumglas]

[Hhomo]

Great video! Thanks for posting.

[rikse94]

Ihan olis ollu kiva mennä konserttin mutta ei ehtiny :(

[TheMusic76]

Signmark on tänään (1.10.2009) meidän koululla, mut se esiintyy vaan ylä-astelaisille :( Sit se menee illalla Ellivuoreen (se on Mouhijärvellä/sastamalassa sijaitseva laskettelukeskus!)

[joonas888]

kyllä se ihan hyvält kuulosti auditoriossa mutta en taida olla menossa...

[alezxi]

Ei se mikää laskettelukeskus oo..... Ellivuori on hotelli ja ne mäet on ski:n omistamia ja ne vaan sattuu oleen siin vieres...... Niistä mäistä puhutaa mys nimellä ''ellivuori'' mut ei ne sitä oo.

[illililli]

Signmark on kuuro, ei mykkä.

[kenagg]

Eikös tää kuule mitä muut puhuu mut ei voi ite puhua? eli mykkä?

[ahskrenaim]

En ymmärrä, mitä puhut. Omat tiedot Suomen on rajoitettu. Jos haluat vastauksen lähetä ja Englanti. Englanti ja ASL ovat vain kieliä tiedän.

[jjuliaff]

@kenagg siis ei, hän on kokonaan kuuro, mutta osaa ehkäpä lukea huulilta, kun tänään katoin MTV3 huomenta suomessa tätä. :) siis minusta hän vaan viittoo?

[jodieblack5]

@kenagg  Signmark on kuuro, osaa kyllä puhua itse.

[veeewA]

@kenagg väärin, Signmark ei kuule mitään, hän on täysin kuuro.

[KikkaMariia]

@kenagg signmark on kuuro

[pikkunemmi]

@kenagg Ei ku se on kuuro. :)

[SesKaglove]

Meilläki Signmark kävi viimeviikon torstaina koulus :) ihan hyvä se on :D

[Nettakerttu]

Eilen tapasin koululla signmarkin vaikuttava persoona :)

[lakritsi99]

Kuulin että hän signmark olisi kuuro olenko oikeassa?

[ahskrenaim]

Kyllä hän on kuuro XD

[joshua777y]

great song one of the best form a guy who is deaf good for signmark

[Shikatema4everrr]

paras :)

[ahskrenaim]

kiitos XD

[Darondir]

ick sach mal so, ähm, korrekt, korrekt jefällt mir jeht ab, korrekt, korrekt, jefällt mir jeht ab! Dit jefällt mir so!

[ahskrenaim]

glad you liked it :)

[HanSolorulezzz]

Thats really cool!!!

[Aamalia]

olis pitäny päästä viisuihin!

[6Camus9]

no ei varmasti... euroviisut on muusikolle ammatillinen itsemurha...

[ahskrenaim]

Olen eri mieltä. Nautin Eurovision

[nekkunekku]

i love this!!! great work!!!

[Kissi62]

great song!

[ohwell42]

I really like this!! good job!
