Arttu-Pekka Aleksi Wiskari [3] (born 16 September 1984) is a Finnish singer-songwriter.
Wiskari was born in Espoo. [4] Before his full-time musical career, Wiskari worked at the Finnish hardware store RTV. His eponymous debut album was released in June 2011 by Warner Music Finland. The album was certified Platinum (20,000 copies) and reached the top of the Finnish album chart. [5] [6]
His second album, Tappavan hiljainen rivarinpätkä, was released in April 2013, and it reached number seven on the album chart. [7]
Wiskari's third album, Sirpaleet, was released in November 2014. It peaked at number six on the album chart. [8] Its second single, "Sirpa", was criticized by a reviewer from the Rumba magazine, who claimed it was "plagiarizing" the Finnish band Leevi and the Leavings. [9] However, this was meant more as a figure of speech rather than an accusation of actual plagiarism. [10]
In November 2016, Wiskari released his fourth album titled IV. The album peaked at number fourteen on its debut week. [11]
In November 2018, Wiskari released the single "Suomen muotoisen pilven alla". The song peaked at number four on the singles chart and became the most played radio track of 2019 in Finland. [12] [13]
In April 2020, Wiskari released "Tässäkö tää oli?", a single featuring Leavings-Orkesteri , which was formed by surviving members of the former Leevi and the Leavings. The song debuted at number six. [14]
