About Me


Kirkasääninen tehopakkaus Koivunen on laulanut itsensä ihmisten tietoisuuteen eri kilpailuissa karaoken MM-kisoista Idolsiin. Heavy rock ja metalli ovat olleet Arin ominta musiikkia kuusivuotiaasta asti. Hän on ala-asteikäisestä soittanut rumpuja ja muita instrumentteja, ja päätyi lopulta laulajaksi. Aiemmat bändiviritelmät jäivät projekteiksi mutta nyt hän on valmis aloittamaan oman lukunsa suomalaisen hevin historiassa.
Ari Koivunen is the winner of the 2007 Finnish Idols competition. Prior to entering Idols, Koivunen won the Finnish Karaoke Championships in 2005, and placed third in the Karaoke World Championships the same year. On the seventh of May, 2007, it was announced that Koivunen's debut album, Fuel For The Fire, will be released on the 30th of May. The album was released for download sale on the 21st of May.
