About Me

I am a singer/songwriter from Finland. I simply love singing, and so many of my thoughts, observations and experiences become songs. Music is a very powerful thing, and it touches people on so many levels. I want to make real music to real people, not just scratch the surface. When I'm not doing music, I like taking long walks, dancing, sailing, miniatures and crossword puzzles (very relaxing!). Had I not become a musician I would probably be a baker, youth counsellor or a linguist today.
