Biography

Paula Koivuniemi

Overview

  • Born
    June 19, 1947 · Seinäjoki, Finland

Biography

  • Paula began her career as a singer with her father's band. Her first recording took place in 1966 and the song, Perhonen (Butterfly) continues to be extremely popular these days as well. Her career skyrocketed in the 80s after few hits and today she's one of the most sought-after singers in Finland and the younger generation especially adores her and her music. She's always changing and is not afraid to put herself into play - for instance at age 55 singing for 20,000 people dressed in a mini-skirt and using a whip. She's considered a gay icon as well. She's been part of extremely successful shows, like Leidit Lavalla (Ladies on Stage) with 3 other big names and the comedy and music show Naiset Ensin (Ladies First) with singer/actress Merja Larivaara. Paula's trademarks are her somewhat low voice and her strive for perfection. Generally she's considered a "good guy" among her audiences.
