Born in Lahti in 1965, he changed his name from Lassi Letho to Jimi Tenor in reference to his favorite instrument, the tenor saxophone, and out of admiration for the musician Jimmy Osmond. After school, he took up music studies before eventually moving to New York, where he worked as a souvenir photographer on the Empire State Building. During this time, Tenor continued to work on his music in his flat and a unique mixture between house, jazz, and experimental pop music emerged. His solo debut Sähkömies (1994) established one of the most exciting artistic careers that has lasted for over 30 years. A techno pioneer in the 1990s, Tenor turned to his love of jazz in the 2000s, recording an album with Afrobeat legend Tony Allen and collaborating with several orchestras. As the first part of the new series Sounds, Sights & Stories, Omniverse uses photos and stories to document the various stages of Jimi Tenor's life and career, whose work goes far beyond his music -- from photography and filmmaking to instrument making and fashion design, everything is conceivable in the world of what is probably the first Finnish pop star. Hardcover; 192 pages. 8.03x0.83x9.57 inches; 1.58 pounds.
