More about music: Everything started from there when I followed my brother Osmo’s footsteps to music classes. Jouko T., my music teacher at the time, recommended that “trumpet might fit you well as an instrument”. From ‘86 on I played classical songs for eleven years in The North Kymi Music Institute, teacher was Karl-Heinz H. My present taste in music started to develop only in time as I moved to Turku in order to study. At the same time I started to do the groundwork for my own songs with a Korg X3 synthesizer. For one reason or the other (study rush etc.) the songs were never finished and I forgot all about them for several years. The actual kick for making the album and forming a band was the sum of several things in 2003. In time, music became the most important thing in my life and at the same time developed a feeling that music is the thing for what I live and what I want to do.
