Anssi's first touch to electronic music was the Pet Shop Boys in the eighties. He is still a fan of their work, and they've probably been the biggest musical influence for him. Also artists like Jarre and Jan Hammer have definitely had an influence on what he is doing now with their 80's instrumental synthesizer tracks.

In lower division of comprehensive school he took part in an electronic music course, which was his first touch to producing electronic music. In 1998 he discovered a program called Fast Tracker 2, which found out to be a perfect program for him in a time before virtual instruments. His music taste started to expand and move more and more to electronic music. Later on a commercial dance track called "ATB - Don't Stop" hit the radio and tv and he was sold. That was probably the first instrumental electronic dance track that really got him goosebumps. And not too much after that trance music grabbed him and still hasn't let go.

In the year 2000 or 2001 he heard a set from finnish dj called "Orkidea", who is still the most respected and talented finnish trance dj. That set blew him away, it introduced him to a totally new more sophisticated trance sound. hypnotic riffs, amazing soundscapes, progressive building up and beautiful melodies.

Anssi's producing really started more seriously in 2003, and after hard learning by himself he finally got his first official releases in 2005. After that more and more releases and remixes started to get released. In the future anssi hopes that he can continue to release his tracks and hopefully get even more people to hear and maybe even love them.
