Career

Early career and School

Joonas grew up in Oulu, and after finishing high school he moved to Helsinki. At the age of 20 he studied Pop & Jazz Conservatory music through a technology education program in Helsinki. After a year he got an assistants position at Neomusic, hosted by Janne and Miikka Huttunen.[5] He dropped out of school two years later. He made the decision so that he could focus more intensely on his music career as a songwriter and producer.

“I’m really grateful for my time at the Pop & Jazz Conservatory, but I quickly noticed that they concentrated on a lot of things I didn’t find that important. The attitudes towards commercial pop in Finland seem to still be largely negative, and the school certainly didn’t help. I just had to start doing my own thing.” - Music Finland - In the spotlight 18/02/2014
