A singer-songwriter from Lohja whose catalog balances melodic hooks with personal, sometimes raw, writing.
For a good sense of her, put on 'Yksin Huudat Sun YöT' and 'Ärsyttävä Tapa'. They're both from that 2000s run and have that mix of catchiness and something a little rougher underneath.
She's been writing Finnish pop songs since 1999's 'Pitkä Tie', and her work has a directness that sticks. A track like 'Yksin Huudat Sun YöT' shows how she can wrap a heavy feeling in a melody that doesn't feel heavy. She's also been open about how her experience with bipolar disorder informs some of the writing, which gives songs like 'Ärsyttävä Tapa' a lived-in texture.
She started with 'Pitkä Tie' in 1999 and followed with 'Ei' in 2001, which had 'Saapuva Juna'. The albums kept coming, 'Se ei olekaan niin' in 2003, a self-titled one in 2005, 'Superpallo' in 2008, with her band of Kosonen, Laine, Värtsi, and Mäkinen. Later records like 2012's 'Kunnes joet muuttaa suuntaa' and 2015's 'Aja!' continued the thread.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
