TARJA TURUNEN
my idol when I was a young girl. My singing teacher would make me sing soul songs from the age of 12, and the power in Whitney’s voice was incredible. I tried singing at school concerts but the high notes were a struggle and I got a sore throat, but that song led me to find a vocal teacher. My parents started taking me to see plays at the theatre’s . Sarah Brightman was one of the most influential singers of my youth and I always wondered how a soprano could sing those high notes and how I’d love to be able to sing them one day… a few years later, I could! I always thought I’d become an opera singer, but I suddenly accepted the challenge of metal music which opened a new world for me. and ’s song meant the world to me at that time – I didn’t want to give up my studies in classical music but I also didn’t want to give up this new challenge in my life.
