Bio
The drums entered Antti's life in the early 90's, exact year and date being in the utmost corner of oblivion. The first real drumhits occured when he was about 7 years old. He was first supposed to play the synths in a band with his brother and a couple of other boys, but when their drummer of that time, couldn't perform his task too well, they decided to put Antti behind the kit and try what would come out. And that's where he's stayed, behind the drumkit.
After many different band names, lineup changes, uphills and downhills, Reactor was born in 1997 with only Antti and Tommi remaining from the first lineups. From there on it was steady gigging and a band contest win in '99 along with Antti being awarded for being a proimising young talent. Wooho.
In 2004 Antti's long-time friend Tatu Koivu asked him to fill the drummers seat in a band that rose from the remains of Blisser as Circum Elements. This was the birth of Circum Elements. Two years from that, in 2006, Antti got to know the guys of an indierockpop group The Friend and joined them as their drummer. And so the drumming journey continues towards greater missions and accomplishments.
