Ville Leinonen Explained

Ville Leinonen (born 14 October 1975 in Savonlinna) is a Finnish singer-songwriter.

His music combines "bohemian folk (Donovan comes to mind), bossa nova, and imaginary exoticism (George Harrison’s India, Ennio Morricone’s wild west)".^[1] Except solo works he took part in recordings of other artists and bands, such as following Fonal Records acts: Islaja, Paavoharju and Es. He was the drummer in the band Office Building from 1999 to 2003 and in the band Risto from 2005 to 2008.^[2]
