Musical background: My family background is quite musical, so I grew up with music and instruments. At first I learned to play some melodies by piano and later on my father showed me a couple chords for guitar. I got my very first guitar at christmas 1984 (toy Stratocaster made of plastic) ;).The first band I got in to as a drummer, was a punk-band called "Tasohöylä". Classical music has allways been close to my heart so I begun to take classical guitar lessons. Soon I realized that it couldn't satisfy the beast within... ;) So I sold my soul to the Rock music.
