About Me

Hi. Thanks for looking. My name is Henry Hakkarainen, born in Kuopio, Finland but moved to Canada when I was two. I started playing the bass when I was about 14 when I developed a passion for writing and playing the music of bands I've loved. I grew up listening to Rush, Kiss, Styx, Supertramp, Led Zepp, The Who, Iron Maiden and The Beatles.I've been involved in a recording project for the last few years with Chris Strand (Strandmann) who plays drums on all tracks above.I believe it was Geddy Lee who said about recording: "Nothing is really finished. It's just abandoned."
