1. What does music mean to you?

Music, and especially singing, has been a part of my life since I was very young. When I was five years old, I would sit on top of my grandmother’s dresser every day and sing Tapio Rautavaara’s songs. I still know them by heart.

2. Do you enjoy singing tangos?

Tango is very close to my heart. It combines sensitivity, strength, sensuality, and rhythm. It is also my favorite dance.

3. How do you stay in shape?

In addition to music, well-being and exercise are important parts of my life. I engage in a variety of physical activities; I am a yoga instructor, and I also enjoy ballroom dancing. But everything in moderation. Together with my father, I am raising a Finnish horse foal that I hope will one day compete on the racetrack.
