TAPIO VIINIKANGAS
Tapio Viinikangas (b. 2000) is a performer, musician, influencer, and a creative entrepreneur and cultural figure. He rose to wider public awareness after winning the first season of YLE’s competition reality show Sointu Borg & Tyrkyt in spring 2025, which focuses on commercial influencing and personal branding on social media.
Tapio is profound, poetic, and thought‑provoking, without forgetting a healthy dose of self‑irony. He lowers the threshold for experiencing culture and classical music, bringing it closer to those who might not otherwise find their way to it.
