life and career
background
Erin was born in Helsinki to a Finnish father and Irish mother. She was raised a Catholic . When she was three years old, the family moved to Ireland, where she attended preschool. They came back three years later so that she went to elementary school in Finland. When Erin turned 17, she and Jonna Kosonen took part in the TV singing competition " Kiitorata ", they came third. The duo Nylon Beat then took part in the Finnish qualification for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1998 with the song "Umm Ma Ma", and in 2000 with the song "Viha ja rakkaus".
After Nylon Beat ended in 2004, Erin and her long-time partner Vesa Anttila (who played guitar for the band) moved to Wicklow, Ireland, where Erin studied music. In 2005 they got married. Their first son was born in 2013, and the second in July 2015. In 2017 Erin appeared together with Jurek Reunamäki and Antti Tuisku as a juror in the Idols singing competition of the television channel Nelonen .
Solo career
Back in Finland, Erin started her solo career. In April 2008 she released the first English-language single Sarah on her own . The English-language album was supposed to be released in autumn 2008, but was not finished until the end of 2009 and was not released in the end, as the single hardly sold. Erin then decided to start all over again and sing in Finnish this time. The first Finnish-language single " Vanha nainen hunningolla " was released on January 31, 2011 by Warner Music Finland. The album " Hunningolla " was released on May 25, 2011, and went platinum . This, as well as the next albums, were released under the name Erin . Most of the music and lyrics come from her own pen.
In the fall of 2012, Erin took part in the Van elämää program on the Nelonen television channel , where seven singers each interpret each other's songs. Her version of Cheeks Mitä tänne jää achieved gold status in 2013 with 5,000 singles sold.
On the album Tuhlari of Laura Närhi (published in October 2012) she sang the "Song Siskoni " with which also appeared as a single. The song peaked at number 9 on the download list and was the most played by commercial radio stations.
Erin's second solo album Sä osaat! was released on June 7th, 2013. The first single " Ei taida tietää tyttö " was released on May 15th.
Ei taida tietää tyttö became the third most played song on commercial radio stations in 2013, and in 2014 it was voted Song of the Year by Finnish music publishers.
Erin released the third album Seliseli on November 11, 2016, the single Kohta hänen in September.
