Mini bio

How it started.

Saara grew up in northern Finland and studied singing, piano, composition and dance. Her own songs were part of the journey early on: she won the Kotka Maritime Festival’s children’s song contest in 1998 with a composition of her own. A runner-up finish on Talent Suomi in 2007 introduced her to a wider Finnish audience.

Finding a wider stage.

She built a career across records, stage musicals and voice acting, including Princess Anna in the Finnish version of Frozen. In 2016, she entered The X Factor UK and finished as runner-up. Two years later she represented Finland at Eurovision with Monsters, which she co-wrote with Joy Deb, Linnea Deb and Ki Fitzgerald.

Music in many forms.

Her recordings include the pop album Wild Wild Wonderland and the Christmas releases Fairytale and Joululahjalista. Recent work brings her back to shared stages with Teemu Roivainen, to Glinda in the Finnish dub of Wicked, and to rehearsals as Louhi in the new musical Lumipallo.
