Biography

Porra is a Finnish bassist and composer, best known for his work in Stratovarius and Sinergy. He started to play cello at the age of 6, later switching to bass guitar which he studied at the Helsinki Pop Jazz Conservatory between 1994 and 2004. Apart from his bass work, he has also sung with choruses and orchestras and composed music for movies and commercial spots.

Trivia

Porra's great-grandfather was the Finnish composer and violinist Jean Sibelius (1865-1957), widely recognized as Finland's greatest composer.

Also composed some of the music together with Mika Lammassaari for the movie "Hevi reissu" (a movie about a young metal band hitting the road at a metal-festival in Norway).
