Jari Sillanpää Biography
Jari Sillanpää (born August 16, 1965, Ludvika, Sweden) is one of Finland's most popular singers. He became famous after winning the Seinäjoen Tangomarkkinat tango contest in 1995.
Sillanpää's first album, Jari Sillanpää, released in 1995, is the highest-selling record in Finland. He has since represented Finland in Romania's Golden Stag festival in 1997, where his song, "Remember Me", earned him the special award for the best performance of a Romanian song.
Sillanpää represented Finland in Eurovision Song Contest 2004 semi-final and his song ”Takes 2 To Tango” received 51 points, taking the 14th place and giving Finland the best ranking in ten years (though Lordi beat this record in 2006).
Popular with the ladies, Sillanpää came out of the closet in February 2006.
