Biography
My musical history started quite early in children's music playschool and later at primary school I went on a music-oriented class. I started taking piano lessons at the age of 11, but soon it became very clear that I wanted more than just classical piano playing. After various teachers I quitted taking piano lessons and have played by my self until recent years. At the age of 14 I started classical singing studies in a music institute with a diploma singer Raisa Lahtiranta whom I'm still working with after these 14 years. During more than ten years I have also sung in various choirs and ensembles.
The first touch to heavy music I got in 1997 at high school when a couple of high school heavy metal- guys asked me to sing on their EP. By that time they played death metal and the band was called Agonia. After a while I joined the band as a keyboard player and a backing vocalist. From 1997 the band has changed its´ form and name, and is nowadays called Iconofear. After years of classical singing studies I grew up to the idea of being a vocalist and during these ten years with Iconofear I have also grown into heavy music. So in the summer 2006 I started to look for a band, a metal band, because it seems to be closest to my interests. Guys spotted my application, listened to my samples and called me. Amberian Dawn was created and I'm very happy and proud to be part of it!
