In an interview on "Hommik Anuga," Estonian rapper Max Õispuu shared insights into his character Kermo Murel, emphasizing how his experiences, such as lessons from Lydia Rahula at the Tallinn boys' choir, have shaped his artistic journey. Õispuu mentioned that Murel, who has become associated with his musical projects Clicheriku and Mäxi, is an alter ego rather than a direct reflection of his other work.

He elaborated on the intricacies of the character Kermo Murel, describing him as having a distinct personality and lifestyle, including a love for trance music, gym workouts, and roller riding, all characteristics that symbolize a typical 'Saku guy.' Õispuu highlighted the importance of this persona to his music, noting that while audiences may connect Murel with his other performances, each project stands on its own.

Moreover, Õispuu revealed that the name Kermo was conceived long ago, and paired with the surname Murel, it creates a quintessential representation of his character. This duality in his persona illustrates the playful and creative aspects of his artistic expression, allowing him to explore different facets of his identity through music without being overly concerned about the direction he is headed in.
