Biography
I'm far self-educated but I did take lessons for about two years until I got bored. Actually I learned to play by playing along with the records. I understood the meaning of keys and played by myself before I even took lessons. I started to play just to amuse myself actually. In elementary school we had this so called band, and we actually had one gig at home-warming party. I have also sung in choir for about 9 years. The greatest moment was to sing Finlandia accapella (without instruments). But that was my singing career. But who knows, maybe I will sing again some day. Now I'm fully concentrated on playing keyboards.
There were times I was very depressed and didn't play at all, but now I'm getting closer to what I was left off. I joined Thaurorod in December 2005. That was maybe the best thing that has happened to me in very long time.
