6.2.2015.


     Don't like!
Who was the disrespectful 'fan' that put our single out before release? We work SO hard to create something special, in high quality! And you think it's ok to steal it? Dear REAL fans: this Èlan version is NOT official and sounds unlike the real thing!!!! Please wait for our official release next week on the 13th of February! And know that a single is one song, always impossible to cover the contents of an entire album in this one example :-) I red reactions based on this illegal spread monster and got sad to the bones with the words based on one song in poor quality illegally spread. Have patience and I have no doubt it will be rewarded.


6.2.2015.


     Signing very nice looking promo cards in Köln, Germany! More interviews today in a sunny city, life is good.

     Did you see our video from our first single Élan yet? I am super exited and proud and feel happy with the fantastic reactions to this new song! Again, it's one song of a very diverse album, hard to catch all of the ingredients in just one first track. Here's a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPonioDYnoY

     Getting ready for the tour! Often I get asked what I do to keep my voice in shape. Well, the voice is part of the body so the entire system needs to be healthy! A good condition is essential to have a good resistance. Next to that it's important during a show because you need a lot of muscles to power, the voice itself is a tiny muscle that vibrates but shouldn't be pushed. Healthy food and enough sleep are also a must! You need to organize this for yourself and keep guard without over-analyzing everything! A good party or glass of wine is mental food that is also important, a good mind set just as powerful as a healthy body! Voice wise I'm set with these things, I can sing endlessly long but talking loud or breathing in smoke is terrible so I must avoid this.


     I've been working out in this cool gym in my new home town Joensuu 💪 So, I'm getting ready to hit te road! North America first! Are you ready?
