born in 1983 in Tyrnävä, Finland. Started playing guitar and
drums in lmid/late 90s influenced by Testament, Iron Maiden,
Megadeth, Sepultura, Paradise Lost along by many others.
later in 2000s heavier bands stepped in form of black metal,
death metal and doom metal.
even though there was little band projects already in 90s, first
"real" bands started form; Strange Aeon and Portrait of Pain
by the time also interest towards recording and production
started to grow and also first recordings on DAW were made
with Portrait Of Pain.
due to hand-injury in 2008 was close to call it all quits, but
didn't give up - learnt the guitar again.
joined Warceremony in 2009 first as session musician,
playing leads on EP Altars of War - to join fulltime member
week after sessions.
recorded full lenght "The Seven Sermons Of Sin" with
Warceremony - in 2010 broke the same hand again which
nerve-damage became more difficult - had longish break
from band playing.
joined Alpha Noir as drummer in 2018 with friend from
elementary school-times - had a blast.
soon after that got invited to join Muria as drummer - had
blast again, but switched to guitar as long time friend and
former drummer from Portrait of Pain joined force -
still had a blast.
over all these years done mixing, mastering and producing.
even live-mixing.
