Finland, the origin of this marvelous adventure.

All begins in Kouvola, a finnish city, in the south of Finland, near Helsinki..

Mary-Ann:

First, thanks for Tonmi Lillman for his rectification about the Mary-Ann biography. Tonmi, Jape ( ;-p ), Make (this is the first Mary-Ann line-up) form Mary-Ann, a band from Kouvola, in Finland, and start to play near 1993. They released the first Mary-Ann self-produced album, "Mary-Ann" in 1997. It's when, Juppe and Andy joined the band. When Tonmi takes a one-year break, Juska, Sepe and Jaani joined the group. One year after the first album, , always self-produced, they released an Ep, "Deeper Sin". This Ep help them to managed themselves to get a label, Spinefarm Records, a Finnish Label.

As Tonmi said, Mary-Ann is not just a little band, it will be always his (and Jape) "eternal project", and a reflection, "his reflection" of his "inner self".
