About Me


Spyritual first made a sound when a 12 year old finnish boy Juha Tuukkanen discovered making music with machines. At first the sounds seemed quite electronic, but during the years the idea of a more organic music started to develop. The discovery of the more acoustic Spyritual-sound went on, and at the same time Juha found out the exitement of musically collaborating with other people. After some years of writing and producing with other artists, he again decided to start going into the studio alone in the dark last hours of the night. Soon these sessions started to bear fruit and also the old Spyritual-material was dusted out of the shelves and refurbished.

If you know what to look for, in the music of Spyritual there is a sence of origin present. That origin is Finland. With it's strong, beautiful and contrasting nature, it's hard not to let the surroundings affect your emotions. It's also a common legend that finnish people don't talk much, but mostly keep to themselves. When this is the case, other forms of communication can, and are sometimes forced to take place.
