My Take
Antti Tuisku interests me partly for where he comes from: Rovaniemi, in Finnish Lapland, practically the edge of the Arctic. Placing third on Idols in 2003 could have made him a flash in the pan, yet he turned it into a genuine career, selling over 300,000 records and collecting an Emma award and an MTV Europe nod. That kind of sustained success in a small market is no accident. The detail that he's also a cross-country skier feels very Nordic to me, hinting at real discipline. He's retired now, but I imagine his pop carried some of that northern stillness, and that makes me want to listen.
