Jarno is known as the main song-writer for the band. When asked about this he modestly replies, "I just play the guitar while humming some melodies. When i have got something ready I record it and send the song to Antony, and he writes the lyrics and more vocal melodies if the song needs that. I have to record the vocal melodies with my guitar ’cos I can’t sing at all so Antony gets the idea about the vocal lines!"
