B: Do you have stage fright before the shows?
T: I don't have time for it, I can't even think about it. Right now everything seems unfeasible, I’m wondering how the listeners will receive the new album, what will the concerts be like, where life will lead me…

B: Still you sound full of enthusiasm…
T: of course, I’m full of enthusiasm and very anxious, because I’m wondering how everything will turn out. I love to be occupied with music!

B: Do you make some weird voice rehearsals before the shows, drink crude egg etc.?
T: Voice is my instrument; I can’t just leave it in the corner and say: “I don’t feel like practicing today.” Luckily that doesn’t happen to me, but I have to practice very often - you know that “aaaaaaaa”! I’m preparing several hours for the concerts, I have to be alone and think only about the concert – Otherwise I’m practicing every day, especially now when promoting the new album, well I talk even more (laughs). In average I’m practicing few hours a day, I also have a voice teacher.

B: You sing soprano. Have you ever thought of becoming an opera singer?
T: I’m lyrical soprano, but I never had time to dedicate fully to classical music. Time is the only reason. I adore classical music, it’s my big passion. I’m planning some classical concerts with friends from school in about three year’s time. But I’m not ready yet for opera singing!

B: what’s your opinion about new Nightwish singer Anette? Do you think she found her way in the band?
T: Many are asking me that. All I can say is that I heard them on the radio. I’m glad if she and the band are content, I wish her a successful career. Nightwish is a great band and I wish them long and successful journey trough music. Concerning the other things, I’m not the person who can speak of her image and voice capability. Of course I have my own opinion, but I think I don’t have to make a public proclamation.

B: who is your favorite singer or band?
T: Uf, That’s a very difficult question! I listen to different music styles, depends on the mood. I like to listen to music while I’m driving: usually rock or metal, so I don’t fall asleep behind the wheel. When relaxing, I listen to film music or instrumental music, it’s important that it doesn’t have any lyrics. I think HIM have a great new album; I also like a lot of English bands. I’m very happy that finish musicians are finally being recognized all over the world.

B: Is there any style of music you can’t stand?
T: I can’t say that I hate something, but it’s true that I don’t listen to blues, death and black metal. Last two, above all because of the singers, vocal is very important to me.

B: Once you were voted as the most impressive clothed singer. How do you create you image?
T: I have a friend in Finland, who’s helping me with creation for last eight years. I don’t plan a vital change of my image; my clothes will continue to be “dramatic”, because it’s a part of me. Therefore expect nice and wild clothes, especially on the concerts. But don’t think you’ll ever see me in mini skirt! I’m simply not a “mini skirt” type of women.

B: your zodiac sign is lion. Are you anything like it’s written in the stars?
T: I’m 100% lion! I love being under reflectors’ lights and on the stage. It’s a space I like best and I can mange it very well. In private life I don’t feel the need to be in the center of attention. When I invite friends to come over, I usually just listen them talk and seldom add something. Besides that, I’m a big gourmet which is also a typical lion characteristic.

B: Do you like animals? Which one is your favorite?
T: I like dogs the most, those little ones. When I was younger I had a cocker spaniel. I learned to appreciate dogs’ friendship, these are incredible honest beings. They’re much more sincere and loyal than a man and all they want in return is a little love.

B: what are you most scared of in life?
T: one of my biggest fears is to loose my voice, to wake up one morning without it and not be able to sing anymore. I’m also scared of serious diseases. Well anyway, that’s something you can’t foresee in life.

B: Any message for Bravo readers?
T: Thank you for being so great, I’m happy that you’re by my side. I really wish to see you next year on a concert in your country!
