Deeaa is a solo project these days; it's just me, DeeAa, and the keyboardist BNC, who also composes his lines. We used to play with a full setup, though, for a long time.
These days I've been doing session work, participating in several bands such as Project-43
A rare picture of me playing bass!
Friends included on some of these recordings:
Jussi Vainikainen, drums
Jani Ahonen, guitars
Mark Jordan, bass
Jarkko Jokinen, bass, guitar
The D-A band

Band/artist history
I started gigging and band playing in '89 with a band called 'Big Deal' playing guitar and singing (stuff from Santana to rockpop and heavy, 3 demos), and then moved town; played guitar in a group called 'Murphy's Kidz'(hardrock, 2 demos) and then later joined an 8-person '70's cover band 'Daily Bread' as a singer only (Purple, Thin Lizzy etc). Formed an original grunge band 'No Class' (still at garageband.com, 2 demos, 1 full demo album) and then a punk-influenced band 'Brutaali Magneetti' in which I first played the bass and sang (3-4 demos; an EP), later guitar and sang. Swapped town again, barely escaping a record contract at that point, and joined 'aura.K' (metal/hardrock, also at garageband, 3 demos and a full demo album) as a singer and again ended up as a guitarist/vocalist. After that, in 2002(?) I think formed d-a, and did a few demos and released an EP; quit playing together in 2004 and I made this solo album in a more heavy style.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Don't play live anymore...least not now, maybe someday again.
Your musical influences
Soundgarden, Pearl jam, The Cult, The Ramones, AC/DC, Aimee Mann, Sheryl Crow, Iron Maiden, Neil Young.
Anything else?
Bass, guitars, keyboards...the usual thingy. I mostly play an Explorer with an EMG preamp, or a Les Paul STD into a Marshall JMP-1 and an FX box in the loop, a D/I and straight to mixingboard and PC. The basses I did the same way.

I peeped "Salvation". Here's my review for it: "Salvation" (5.5/10) The beat was... umm... Odd in the beginning. Of course, it got way better around the 26 second mark. Sounded awesome from there on out. I didn't really like the singing. It just sounded like you were talking at some parts. Of course, it did get better as the topic became more revealing. There was static here and there, but still a decent joint. The music got unbearably wack around the time you began singing at the 2 minute mark. It started sounding like any other rock song, but then the hook came (where you were singing, "The beautiful salvation!"), I'm not sure if you'd count it as a hook but I would, and the beat got better again. The guitars were the better part of the music as I paid close attention the background music. Ending was sweet w/ the guitar vibing and your voice going off. Sounded dope. Good work and keep the joints coming. Holla ______________
