How it all started:

All started when I was a kid. My oldest brother Pauli was my biggest influence. He taught me how to play instruments like drums, guitar and bass since I was about 4 years old. Don`t get me wrong, I`m not good in any of those instruments. My playings stopped after a few years but I also sang alot.

Then when I was 15 I heard a band called Stratovarius. I was impressed. That`s when I really started singing high notes. It was terrible to listen, but because I was stupid I continued it. Then after a couple years I joined my first band, Slave of Wisdom. It lasted for a year or two, then I joined Excalion. It has been about 5 years since that.
Se siitä. That`s it.
