He won the popular TV - song contest 'Syksyn Sävel' (Autumn Tone) in 1991 and subsequently recorded couple of albums and several singles. On his 1995 album "Askel ajassa" (A step in time) was this song "Sun äänes mua kaipaa", which was a cover of worldwide hit song "I'd Love You To Want Me" written and performed by US singer-songwriter named Lobo.
