Well, I was born in Lappajärvi, Finland.
I went through the Finnish school system (college etc). When I was 13 my parents bought me drums which I played until I was sixteen.
Then, some of my friends (with whom I played at the time) made me believe that I could sing and play drums at the same time. I was foolish enough to try that. Of course, it didn..t work.
It seems that I was an even bigger fool when I quit playing drums and concentrated solely on singing. By accident, I later found myself studying vocals/music. I noticed that I pretty much liked it!
That..s how I ended up studying vocals in Helsinki at the pop/jazz conservatory. That was in autumn of 1992. The following summer in 1994, I joined Stratovarius when they were already in the studio recording "Fourth Dimension".
Since then some more albums have been released (if you are interested, check out www.stratovarius.com. I don..t want to go through all them now) and we toured a lot.
My first solo album Waiting for the Dawn came out in 2002. The second album Coldness was released 2004. At the moment I am working on my third album.
”Deepparit” ovat jo oven takana. 12.8. soi Smoke Helsingissä ja 13.8. Kuopiossa.
