Timo Alakotila – Composer & Musician Timo is one of Finland’s busiest, most versatile and most in-demand musicians, as composer, arranger, pianist and harmonium player in folk, classical, jazz and pop fields. His career began in 1982 in Kaustinen, Finland as harmonium player and founder member of the fiddle group JPP, who quickly established themselves as the best and most innovative fiddle music group in Finland.

From Oakland, California, Rose Ann is a keyboardist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer, who’s worked alongside world class musicians in so many different situations. She received her B.A. in Music from the University of California, Berkeley.
Rose Ann is probably best known for her solo project “rad." in the 90s-2000s. (rad.= her initials and nickname.) With this she toured Europe, the US and Japan and released eight studio and live solo albums.
In addition to rad., she’s played with many great artists—Sheila E. and E-Train, Maceo Parker Fred
Wesley, Candy Dulfer, David Garibaldi (Tower of Power) & latin jazz legend Pete Escovedo, among others. She is also a former Prince musician, as a keyboardist and vocalist on his 2004 Musicology Tour. This included performances such as the 2004 GRAMMY Awards with Beyoncé and Clare Fischer. During that time, she also worked on American television shows: as keyboardist on NBC's The Jay Leno Show; and ABC's The One, a reality talent competition show, where she played in the house band and was also cast as on the on screen piano teacher. More recently in the Swiss arena, she is the keyboardist for the act Seven and appears on the acclaimed TV show, Late Night Switzerland.
A Korg endorsed Artist, she is also a guest lecturer and coach and gives master classes at several music institutions in Europe. She’s has her own Youtube video tutorial series “60 Radical Seconds”, a series of short, informative and motivational music “lessons”, designed for all levels of musicians, and for those who simply appreciate the musician’s process.
Other current solo projects are the Rose Ann Dimalanta Trio (as a bandleader) and Pynnacol (as a songwriter and producer).
