Ari Koivunen came to attention as the winner of the nationally televised Finnish talent competition 'Idols'. 22 years old at the time, Lahti native Koivunen won through all his rounds leading up to the final with a dedicated Heavy Metal approach. He listed his pastimes as including "Hevikaraoke" (Finnish "heavy metal" karaoke). In March 2007 a version of DEEP PURPLE's 'Perfect Strangers' got the vocalist over 85% of the telephone vote. Koivunen next performed IRON MAIDEN's 'The Evil That Men Do' to get him into the next round and then WHITESNAKE's 'Here I Go Again' the following week. On the fourth week of the competition, with only three contestants left, two songs were sung by each contestant, Koivunen tackling STRATOVARIUS' 'Hunting High And Low' and LED ZEPPELIN's 'Rock And Roll'.
The semi-final, for which former NIGHTWISH singer TARJA TURUNEN was the guest judge, featured his renditions of 'Sielut Iskee Tulta', originally by KILPI and BROADCAST's 'You Break My Heart'. The finals show on April 6th had Koivunen delivering his interpretations of SCORPIONS 'Still Loving You', SOUNDGARDEN's Black Hole Sun' and SONATA ARCTICA's 'Full Moon' to win the title.
With the competition over, Sony BMG Finland signed the singer. The label rapidly collected together high profile Finnish Rock musicians to score new tracks for Koivunen, these including Timo Tolkki of STRATOVARIUS, Tomi Putaansuu (a.k.a. Mr. Lordi) of LORDI, Marco Hietala of NIGHTWISH and TAROT, Janne Joutsenniemi from SUBURBAN TRIBE, Tony Kakko of SONATA ARCTICA and Jarkko Ahola from TERÄSBETONI. Nino Laurenne of THUNDERSTONE and Pasi Heikkilä from 45 DEGREE WOMAN acted as producers for the project.
Studio musicians comprised guitarist Erkka Korhonen, of RASKAS JOULU and CHEAT CODE, guitarist Luca Gargano, also from CHEAT CODE, bassist Erkki Silvennoinen, of AMORAL and CHEAT CODE, keyboard player Vili Ollila, of TUNNELVISION, RASKAS JOULU and CHEAT CODE repute with drums delegated to CHEAT CODE's Mauro Gargano. An array of guest artists included Tuomas Wäinölä of KOTIPELTO and NYLON BEAT, Mikko Kosonen, of MAIJA VILKKUMAA and Nino Laurenne on guitar, Pasi Heikkilä of 45 DEGREE WOMAN on bass, Janne Wirman from CHILDREN OF BODOM on keyboards plus drummers Mirka Rantanen of THUNDERSTONE and Mikko Kaakkuriniemi of KOTIPELTO.
Sony were justly rewarded as his debut album, 'Fuel For The Fire' preceded by the single 'Hear My Call', entered the Finnish charts upon release in late May and stayed lodged there for 9 weeks. In June Ari Koivunen engaged in an extensive round of Finnish tour dates taking him right through until October. That July the singer received a platinum sales award for sales of over 30,000 copies of 'Fuel For The Fire'.
