Lassi Valtonen became an overnight phenomenon when he was competing in the Finnish Idols TV-program in 2011. He was expected to win the season but, to everyone's surprise and shock he decided to quit the program during the semifinal period. His popularity in the show and the obvious quality of his singing, however, secured him a record deal. He signed with Sony Music for a two album deal. His first album in 2011 was a Top 10 hit in the album charts (and included a Top 20 single) and was certified as a Gold selling album soon after its release. Lassi's health issues hindered his touring effort and his fans had to wait until 2016 for a second album. Now, singed with indie label Eclipse Music, Lassi's third album has a strong statement to make about artistic freedom. He has written all the songs himself and is in full control of his own music. And his voice is as striking as ever.
