Before he joined Kent, he was the vocalist for hardcore-/punk band No Security. In 1993 they released the record When the Gist is Sucked from the Fruit of Welfare, the ugly faces of truth show, which contained all that the band had recorded with record label Lost & Found. The band toured Europe, and had an offer to take part in a smaller tour of the USA, but never went through with it.
Together with Kent bandmate Sami Sirviö he has appeared in an advert for Finnish beer, Koff.
