Born October 26, 1978 in Helsinki, Esa first became interested in computer music when he was 6. Some of his early favorites were the songs created for C64 games, later modules by such luminaries as Aleksi Eeben, Niko Nyman, Sami Järvinen, and others, on the Commodore Amiga. By 1994, Esa had shifted his musical interests to ambient/IDM and has later on flourished as a member of the Helsinki scene, providing music for various netlabels like deFocus and deFocus.

Currently, Esa continues to release thru several international labels and explores new tracks & techniques at his flat in eastern Helsinki.
