Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on January 18, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Mihkel Raud! You're the only guy we know who can effortlessly juggle guitars, microphones, pens and cameras without dropping a single note or punchline. Whether you're rocking stages with legendary Estonian bands or crafting witty prose that keeps readers laughing (and thinking), your versatility is truly unmatched.

From captivating TV audiences to penning memorable songs and insightful journalism—your talent knows no bounds. Here's hoping this year brings you even more chart-topping hits, bestselling books and unforgettable moments on stage—and perhaps fewer broken guitar strings!

Keep being awesome; Estonia wouldn't sound—or read—the same without you!
