Outi Tarkiainen

F1965ddcaf17ea141cee47112d4fa8b37e1fd02ef92cc65ebc7163fc5b74

Outi Tarkiainen's music is frequently performed abroad and has been dubbed to draw on the immensity of the northern natural environment. Since her student days, Outi has been drawn to the expressive power and natural truths of the human voice.

“I see music as a force of nature, that can flood over a person and even change entire destinies”, she has said. Tarkiainen has also been creating innovative dialogues with the jazz idiom, as well as exploring themes of womanhood like childbirth.
