Soul Corner

Juha "Izzi the Snake" Uronen is a real rock and roller, as a musician and in his personal life. He has performed with a bunch of bands all kind of music from blues to heavy metal. Izzi's trademarks are his unique rough voice and a full devotion to whatever he does. Besides singing, Izzi plays guitar, bass and drums too. Izzi took over the lead vocals in 2005 based on Aki's request, after Aki had listened to him performing with other bands, especially Lucky 313 . To earn some extra bugs for him and his family, Izzi drives taxi in Helsinki. Izzi is married and has 3 children.

Aki has played guitar for 24 years. As a self-learnt musician he has familiarized himself with different music styles including rock and roll, metal, blues, jazz and flamenco. The wide variety of influences has had an effect on his unique and recognizable sound and style. He has previously had two recording contracts with two different alternative rock bands. Unlike the other members of the band who live in Finland, Aki is living in the largest European metropol, Istanbul, and besides making music he works for an international consulting company.

Aki's most active side project to Soul Corner is his flamenco-influenced Andalucian Dreams -project. He is also occasionally collaborating with musicians from Turkey, USA and Germany.

TT is a prominent bass-player, whose previous band Pushrods was close to a breakthrough. TT had also played with Aki in Nanaimo Bars, in 1998-99. TT joined Soul Corner in 2006, replacing Marko Roiha, and he played bass for half of the tracks on Twilight Report. TT is not only an experienced and credited musician, but also an academician, and he works as a project director at Eduta Institute on "web-based learning". TT is married with 2 children.
