Musical background:

My musical life started very late, at the age of 23. In a choir in Finland I discovered singing for me and since then it became my passion. I began to take classical singing lessons, sang in church and gospel choirs and soon I was asked to be a solo singer in choirs, at churchly and also at private occasions. But as I have grown up with metal and rock music I soon wanted to combine it with my classical background. So I started singing rock and metal songs with a friend and also wrote own songs for the first time. Soon after that I joined a metal band called „Nagor Mar“ (Switzerland) and I also became a singer in the German band „Haggard“, where I had great experiences on stage and on tour. And now a „new age“ has begun for me and I am very pleased to be the new singer of Xandria!
