The Finnish frontman behind the global hit 'Hello' and a string of solo tracks.
For the band sound, 'Hello' is still the touchstone. If you want to hear him alone, try 'My Favorite Drug'.
Ylönen's voice is the one you remember from The Rasmus's international breakthrough with 'Hello' in 2001. That song topped charts across Europe and beyond, and he's kept writing since, both with the band and on his own. Solo tracks like 'What Are You Waiting For?' show him stretching into different moods without losing that familiar edge.
He formed The Rasmus with childhood friends in 1994, and the band's 2001 album 'Into' brought them worldwide attention. They've put out nine studio albums over the years, from 'Peep' in 1996 to 'Dark Matters' in 2017, while Ylönen has also worked on collaborations and solo material.
