With her unique tones and striking stage presence having played a key role in making Nightwish a major multi-platinum success, Tarja (now signed to Universal Music on an exclusive worldwide basis) is ideally placed to take her career to a whole new level, both in terms of musical ambition and personal profile; to this end, the 30-year-old � originally from the Finnish town of Kitee � has spent the past few months working on her first recordings beneath the 'Tarja' banner, making use of studios in Ireland, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Finland and on the US West Coast.
Tarja's debut single, 'I Walk Alone' (inspired by Mozart's celebrated 'Requiem'), is already receiving an enthusiastic response from fans and media alike, with the accompanying video � directed by Joern Heitmann � due to be unveiled shortly. But you can preview the song - right here
