I was born in 1981 in Helsinki, Finland. I started playing guitar at the age of 10. From the early age I was strongly interested in music so I also play piano and drums but guitar is considered as my main instrument.
The early days were spent with heavy practicing and learning everything about guitar and music. I studied several years in pop/jazz conservatory in Helsinki and finally entered the Stadia, Polytechnics in Helsinki from where I graduated as a guitar pedagogy.
I have played in several bands and and worked also as session musician. I’ve recorded guitars for over 10 albums to this day and one them has received a gold record status in Finland. I’ve also released four solo albums and done demo videos and music for different companies. Besides these duties I teach guitar in a local music institute.
In my music I combine various musical styles such as rock, metal, classical, electronica, pop and merge those into a unique ensemble. They are presented in a virtuostic and energetic manner that appeal all kinds of listeners.
I mainly perform as solo artist. I have toured for example in Finland, Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic, Korea, China and Romania. I have performed with such legends as Steve Vai and Michael Monroe.

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
