This month we caught up with Antti, our brand-new Conductor from Lappeenranta, Finland. Let’s get to know him a little better!
Hey Antti, thanks for taking the time to chat with us! Let’s talk music. What genres do you usually find yourself listening to?"
My favorite music genre is metal in almost all its subgenres, from Nightwish to Electric Callboy. I also like some electronic songs (from bitpop to drum & bass). Those are the two main genres I listen to, but I like others as well.
Do you remember when you first joined Musixmatch?
I first joined in December 2021, a week or two later, when I started using Spotify again.
I graduated on Christmas Eve that year. At first, I was really inactive until I found out about curators. I finally got the chance to take the curator test, passed it on my first try, and got promoted on June 7th, 2022.
Fast-forward to 2025, and I was given the Conductor role this month. It came as a complete surprise to me, but now that I think about it, I fit the role pretty well!
What’s your favorite thing about Musixmatch so far?
My favorite thing about Musixmatch, as many others would say, is the community! It’s wonderful to see how everyone here helps each other, and also our favorite artists, by contributing to the lyrics of their songs.I’ve met a lot of new people who have turned out to be really great, thanks to Musixmatch! There are many of them, but the ones I want to mention are Pekka, Jen, Jannik, Vivien, and Sanjeeb: you are awesome!
And of course, the same for Tim & Mauro, you’re the best, haha!
Thank you so much, it means a lot! We usually close by asking if there is a song you recently worked on that made you particularly proud.
Recently? Well, there's at least the songs Light and Shadow and Dancing Shadow by the Finnish metal band Amorphis, among the singles released from their brand new album. I contributed to the lyrics first, and one of the songs is now verified by a specialist. The songs are fantastic, especially the melody and the voice of the band's singer, Tomi.
