Katri Helena

Katri Helena (born Koistinen, 17 March 1945, Tohmajärvi) is a Finnish singer who has been performing since the 1960s. She has been married three times (Turunen, Kalaoja, Rajala) and is now living as a single mom. As an artist and a Finnish speaker, she is one of the most popular singers in Finland in terms of sales. She was the first singer in Finland to sell more than one million albums. Her most popular album, entitled "Anna Mulle Tähtitaivas" (Give Me The Starry Sky), has sold more than 100,000 copies. In a country with only five million inhabitants, this is a huge accomplishment.

Katri Helena has had various hits, including "Puhelinlangat laulaa", "Katson sineen taivaan" and "Syysunelma". She has represented Finland two times in the Eurovision Song Contest: in 1979 and 1993.

In the search for the 100 Greatest Finns of all time, voted in the summer of 2004, Katri Helena placed 43th.
