Saarisalo is an artist unafraid of the power of emotions — on the contrary, she transforms them into art. Saarisalo’s music is theatrical, grandiose pop rock that strikes straight at the heart. Her songs delve into collective themes rooted in the contradictions of the human experience — the way light and shadow, fear and love, take turns in the driver’s seat.

“My sensitivity, straightforwardness, and background in pedagogy have shaped me into a peculiar artistic persona. These are kind of like my superpowers!” – Saarisalo

Saarisalo has released two critically acclaimed albums, the most recent of which, “Mikä meitä vaivaa?” , garnered widespread media attention. The album’s hit track Tyrmäys x3 went viral on TikTok and was named YleX Nosteessa’s Song of the Week. Saarisalo’s music has been recognized by prominent outlets such as Soundi, Kainuun Sanomat, Yle Radio Suomi, Radio Helsinki, Radio Keskisuomalainen, and Savon Aallot. The “Mikä meitä vaivaa?” album earned an Indie Awards 2025 nomination in the Alternative Album of the Year category.
