DRTV, Direct Response Television Production

There have also been quite a few different unfinished works along the way.

You are the official Turun Troubadour 2007. What kind of troubadour are you, what do your songs tell you?

I'm unprofessional troubadour in the sense that I have made them gigs, mainly the guy circles. My songs tell people.

Do you like to compete? Have you participated in music competitions before?

I haven't participated. Basically I like it. Especially against myself. Terribly, I haven't had time to collect trophies in the cupboard. Drtv music

Winning a troubadour race also gives you the opportunity to make your own recordings. Have you taken action an inch?

In two weeks' time, a studio will be making a max single that can hold about three songs. I have received according to a specific producer of Turku pop-rock-jazz-rector of Institute Tapani peace. With him, I am engaged in natural barter in the past, for example, so that I've been to a couple of his pupils to show the harmonica playing, and Tapani again has given advice to a song by half.

You are a psychologist by education and work at the Turku Crisis Center maintained by the Mental Health Club of Southwest Finland. Recently, there has been a particular focus on young people. What are your particular concerns among young people, and what has made you happy?

I am particularly worried about young men. Girls are pretty good at getting help, but boys, for some reason, don't get there even when they have the same knowledge of getting help. Tutoring with three high schools has shown that young people are hard-working. There is a lot of power and ideas there. Good spirit.

Music is a good form of therapy. Do you use music or make music at work or is it a good hobby?

Yes, it's just a hobby for me. I haven't used it at work, even though music is a good tool, just like any other art. Thus, things can be caught when no words are found.

Well, not musically, but if you mean the time when I used a comic strip to try to bring a few Strips from Elvis to this time, then... Well, that too was a short experiment and is now history.

You are a founding member of the Turku Comic Society and you have been involved in comics before. Still, drawing? Drtv music

Not really. In addition to work, I try to enjoy swimming, cycling, walking, gym, and other physical activities as well as professional activities.

What else do you do in your spare time??

I live home life, I meet friends and exercise and non-union activities...

The year just changed. What good did you have last year? What do you hope will happen to you this year?

Marital status changed. A new band was formed. The name is Opposite and you will (hopefully) hear about it! This year I hope... so let's see how that troubadour soundtrack goes. I wish I could have gigs at bars and even festivals.

What event in particular affected you in particular last year? What do you generally expect to happen in Turku, Finland, its celebration year, in the European Union, in the world, in life?

Juice 's death and the Eurovision Song Contest were particularly affected. I hope that mental health problems in Finland will be taken seriously. Those things are not solved by understatement. It is a life-threatening illness that is getting worse if nothing is done. Confrontation has increased in the world. Being globally moving to different camps is not a good thing.

Language or mind?

Can't be separated. Perhaps more so, though. But without language, it's hard to speak your mind. When writing lyrics you have to think about what to say and how to tell it in a way that has never been done before. I just read the end of Mikko Rimminen's Bus Ball novel. Many new words have been invented.

Outdoor or indoor?

Mostly indoors this season. We should spend more time outdoors.

Half-full or half-empty?

Half full. Mostly.

Do you know any other Teemu Ollikais? Are there any funny situations or other confusion?

I know one in the metropolitan area. We've sometimes messed with him, like in TS news. We have agreed that if I still do graphics, I do it by a nickname. However, he is a professional and performs under his own name.

Whether music is an escape from everyday life or just fantasy. Thinking of the tango royal favor, the story of Elvis or the flaming lord of Lord, for example?
