I’ve studied classical singing since 2014. Prior to that I immersed myself in band and choir activities and practiced independently. Originally I started my musical studies at the age of five by playing the violin, which was my companion for a little over ten years. Eventually I had to come to terms with the fact that the violin could never be enough for me as a tool of expression. Singing has always been my way of channeling all those feelings, stories and worlds I have bubbling beneath the surface.

I’m currently studying in the Jyväskylä University of Applied sciences. I’m supposed to graduate in spring 2023 with a bachelor of classical music pedagogy. In other words I’ll be a classical singing teacher. My studies have helped me improve my singing technique and I’ve found a new interest in teaching. I’ve also learned to use digital tools such as midis and VST plugins in music production.

Spring 2022 will be all about our university’s production of G.F. Händel’s opera Xerxes where I will be starring as Amastre. In addition to amazing music the opera is filled with schemes and betrayals, broken hearts and love stories within the court of Xerxes, emperor of Persia. The production will be directed by Ville Saukkonen. Info on dates and tickets here.
