Anne Nurmi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anne Nivyeska Nurmi (born August 22, 1968 in Tampere) is a Finnish singer, composer and keyboard player who is a member of the band Lacrimosa.
When she was younger, she sang in church choirs and began playing keyboard.
In 1987, Anne and a singer named Jyrki started a gothic rock band called Noidat (The Witches in Finnish). In 1989, two more members, Nauku and Toby, joined the band. The band then changed its name to Two Witches and started writing its lyrics in English.
In 1993, Two Witches toured together with Lacrimosa, where Anne met the German-born musician Tilo Wolff. Tilo was so fascinated by Anne's voice that he invited her to join his project and so Anne became a member of Lacrimosa since 1994.
