personal stuff

what kind of jobs did you have before you became a member of sunrise avenue?
my first work was cutting the grass for our house. did that for a couple of summers
when i was maybe 15 or 16. i worked a couple of years for a big finnish department
store selling tv’s, stereo’s, cd’s, movie’s etc. i also worked couple of short periods in
a hospital cleaning the medical instruments, that was not my thing
J.

do you have a big dream that you would like to be fulfilled some day?
of course i have some dreams, let’s see if they happen some day J

have there been any negative changes to your life ever since you joined the band?
not really. sometimes people just don’t understand that even we can’t be happy
and smile all the time and the bad moment can be just in front of anyone.

do you have siblings?
little sister and brother.

what other languages do you speak?
apart from finnish, mainly english. i can say a few sentences in swedish and just
a couple of words in german.

can you imagine living somewhere else than in finland?
definitely. i think a nice situation would be to live the winters in a warm country
(to play golf :D) and warm times in finland.

to play classical music when i was small to have
the techniques to play piano really well.
