What is your musical background? Have we already heard you sing in other bands?

I was born and raised in a musical family. I have been singing since childhood and was forced by my mum to play the oboe for 8 years! I was with mum on tour with her band and sang with them now and then. I then competed in several talent shows from 13 years of age.

My first band was a cover band, named Take Cover, with older guys when I was 17, then I got into a band called Alyson Avenue, first just as a studio singer, then took lead role and we have released 2 albums since 2000. At age 21 I had a lead role in a rock...

The Band - Biography

The first three songs, which were acoustic mood music, were recorded between October and December 1996. At that time, the band had three members: Tuomas, Tarja and Emppu.



The band wanted to see what the music would sound like if drums were added (Jukka joined the band). Also at this time, the acoustic guitar was replaced with an electric. After a couple of weeks of training, the band went to the studio this was in April...

For a few months ago when I created this spot, I did'nt knew if it would become popular. In the start there was only 5 fans. Now, I think things are going better at this spot. I've also seen that it's number 2 of the list over the spot with most links in the music channel (hurray)...It's nice to see al those new fans here lately. I've also changed the banner, if you noticed.
But these two weeks, I have also added a lot to this spot, I think. When you think about I am the only one who have added (exsept for one video). Anyway, I am glad that you are interested in Nightwish, I just wish that...
