Jippu

Born Meri-Tuuli Elorinne on September 10, 1985, in Helsinki, Finland, Jippu developed into a Finnish pop singer and songwriter. Early recognition came her way with the 2005 single "Kii," which paved the way for her first album, Salaisuuksia, Joita Yksinäiset Huutaa Unissaan, released in 2006 on Warner Music Finland/Helsinki Music Company. The set, built around "Kii" and further singles highlighted by "Enkelten Kaupunki," held a position on the Finnish charts across 21 weeks while climbing to number 11. Her second album, Kuka Teki Minusta Tän Naisen, followed in 2008 and entered the domestic albums chart straight at number one, its title track likewise proving a widely embraced single.
