deeaa

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 aura.K

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.

Don't play live anymore...least not now, maybe someday again.

Soundgarden, Pearl jam, The Cult, The Ramones, AC/DC, Aimee Mann, Sheryl Crow, Iron Maiden, Neil Young.

A PC for recording, some drum samplers.

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.
