Ville Leinonen

Ville Leinonen (born 14 October 1975 in Savonlinna) is a Finnish singer-songwriter.

His music combines "bohemian folk (Donovan comes to mind), bossa nova, and imaginary exoticism (George Harrison’s India, Ennio Morricone’s wild west)". Except solo works he took part in recordings of other artists and bands, such as following Fonal Records acts: Islaja, Paavoharju and Es. He was the drummer in the band Office Building from 1999 to 2003 and in the band Risto from 2005 to 2008.
