Where
are you from and what instruments do you play?
I am from Finland and I was born in
Helsinki. I play the flute as my main instrument but I can play a bit of
saxophone and piano too.
If
you weren't a musician what would you be doing?
If I weren’t a musician I would probably be
a painter or carpenter. My profession would be something to do with different
forms and materials anyway...
Where
did you study?
I studied in the music institute of Lahti
University and in the Conservatoire national de Rennes in France. In addition
I have studied in many international masterclasses.
Where
are you studying now?
At the moment I do not study anywhere, but
I have planned to participate in the entrance examination of one German
music university if I'll find more time to concentrate on the program. If
that will be impossible I'll study privately with the flute professor of
that university anyway. I like studying!
What
was the thing that got you interested in music?
I was born into a musical family, my father
played tenor saxophone and sang very well. He also played accordion,
guitar and piano. My older siblings were and still are musicians too.
Basically I just heard music all the time when I grew up. I wanted to become a
composer and would have liked to play the violin but my dad gave me a flute as
a birthday gift.
Who
is your favourite musician/composer?
