TUOMO is the constantly evolving solo project of Tuomo Prättälä, Helsinki-based singer and keyboard player who draws inspiration from a wide array of sources – jazz, soul, hiphop and experimental electronic music. In this studio live concert he performs trio with the tighter-than-life grooves of Teppo Mäkynen (drums) and Tapio Backlund (bass), leaving plenty of space for rhythmic and sonic exploration.
Since he launched his solo career in 2007, Tuomo has released 4 albums. ’My thing’ won an Emma award (Finnish Grammy) and eventually went gold. During the covid lockdowns of 2020, Tuomo released a string of 25 new tracks on his bandcamp page and called it ’Quarantine music’. He has since released more singles and EPs while working on a new album. In addition to his solo work, Prättälä has worked with many of Finland’s greatest Jazz ensembles and artists like Quintessence, Ilmiliekki Quartet, Timo Lassy, Verneri Pohjola and Linda Fredriksson Juniper.
The audio is recorded by multi-award winning recording, mixing and mastering engineer Tommi "Master Fader" Vainikainen.
