Petra Poutanen
is a musician and a composer working both solo and with choirs, in addition to doing theater productions and playing in various ensembles and projects.
Her stage presence has been described as an earthquake, big bang, hypnotising, insightful and original. Her background in music is broad and her music speaks out. She gets excited from an interesting perspective, that is why she sees genres as tools just as instruments.
She would call herself an experimental musician mixing different folk traditions and classical, electronics and roots music, art pop, noise and vocal music. She is known for an acrobatic voice that includes techniques from Scandinavian and Finno-Ugrian folksinging to techniques of throat singing.
