Welcome to my homepage!
I started making music as a teenager with guitar, bass and piano. I also played drums in a couple of bands during the 1970's. However, I soon realized that my greatest ambition was not to play in bands, but to compose and, most importantly, to realize those compositions as recordings. Hours of my one-man-band were recorded using various reel-to-reel tape recorders and partly "DIY" recording gear. When MIDI -technique and much later digital workstations ,I was finally able to produce music up to professional standards. At the end of 1980's I got my first paying gigs composing music for TV commercials and business videos with these new tools.
In 1992 I was the co-producer and arranger of Joel Hallikainen's first album which reached triple- platinum sales and is still in the fifth position of the most sold Finnish records. Since then I have contributed to making of about 20 pop/rock albums. Since 1994 I have been involved in over 200 theatre productions for pro and amateur theatre. For the majority of these I have composed music and/or done sound design. 2017-2019 I was responsible for producing original music as well as sound design for the Moomin World theme park theatre performances in Naantali Finland. I have also written dozens of song lyrics for theatre productions. I have composed original music for the national broadcasting company YLE. I've also scored a few short films. My band project U.N.i released "Dreamland" CD in January 2014. The recording received positive reviews all around the world.
Vuonna 1992 pääsin sovittajamuusikkona mukaan tekemään Joel Hallikaisen ”Kuurankukka” -levyä. Triplaplatinaa myynyt äänite on edelleen viidenneksi eniten myyty fyysinen äänilevy Suomessa. Kaikenkaikkiaan olen ollut mukana noin 20:llä pitkäsoitolla iskelmä/poprock osastolla ja lukuisilla demoäänitteillä. Olen tehnyt sävellystyön, äänisuunnittelun ja/tai musiikin toteutuksen yli 200 näytelmään asiakkaina esim. Turun Kaupunginteatteri, Seinäjoen Kaupunginteatteri, Salon teatteri, TEHDAS teatteri, Teatteri Akseli, Ruskon kesäteatteri ja Raision teatteri. Vuosina 2017-2019 vastasin Naantalin Muumimaailman Emma Teatterin näytelmien musiikin sävellyksistä, sanoituksista ja taustanauhojen toteutuksesta. Tuotantomusiikkia olen tehnyt esim. YLE.lle. Podacasteja olen äänittänyt noin 50 kpl. Progehenkisen U.N.i Dreamland -pitkäsoiton julkaisin vuonna 2014. Raision kaupunki myönsi minulle kulttuuripalkinnon vuonna 2025.
