Heikki Johannes Silvennoinen (born 27 April 1954, Kiviapaja,
Sääminki) is a Finnish musician and an actor. He was a guitarist and
a songwriter in several notable Finnish bands in the 1970s and 1980s,
and has also recorded solo albums. He is best known in Finland as a
member of comedy group Kummeli, which started a television show in
1991.Silvennoinen owns a production company named Pirkka-Hämeen Apina
& Gorilla Oy ("Ape and gorilla of Pirkka-Häme Inc."). With his fellow
comedian Timo Kahilainen he owns Porkkana Ryhmä Oy ("Carrot Group
Inc."), which produces Kummeli's output.As young boy Silvennoinen fell
in love with music of Eric Clapton, especially Cream and Jimi Hendrix.
He learned to play the guitar and formed a rock band called Tabula
Rasa, one of the most important 1970s progressive rock bands in
Finland. When the group released their debut album, Silvennoinen
started to realize that music was likely to be his primary occupation.
His later career has not been associated with progressive rock, but
during the Tabula Rasa years he composed almost all the songs that the
group recorded. After Tabula Rasa came to an end, Silvennoinen joined
Juice Leskinen's band.In the 1980s, Silvennoinen became a professional
producer and collaborated with many significant bands. He played
guitar in bands called Frendz and Catwalk, and in 1987 he formed a
group called Q.Stone with singer Mikko Kuustonen. This band was
English singing blues-rock group that released four relatively
well-received albums. Kuustonen decided to leave the group and
concentrate on his solo career. Silvennoinen continued to play the
guitar on his albums. Heikki Silvennoinen Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
