Until 2002 Poika was the singer of the Soul Captain Band , with whom he was in the Finnish charts in 2001. Then he decided to devote himself to other projects.

The album Kylmästä lämpimään brought him to number 2 in the charts three years later, and he had his first single hit with Mielihyvää . The great success came in 2011 with the song Silkkii . With six weeks at number 1 , it was one of the most successful pieces of the year in Finland.
