They have released five full length albums, and as of [[2006]], they are the first and only Finnish rock band to sell Gold in the [[United States]]. ==Early life== {{User\|Benon}} – self nomination, i have been on wikipedia for about 2 months as a registerd editor (and sevral months as various anons, i didnt use my username because i had even made i!) and in that time have become a massive wiki - addict, i mainly vandal whack, as an ex-anon who vandalised (note this was over a year ago) i feel i know exactly what kind of behaviour is vandalism and what is a new editors test. Valo was born to a [[Finland\|Finnish]] father named Kari and a mother of [[Hungarian people\|Hungarian]] descent named Anita in a small suburb of Helsinki called [[Vallila]]. As a child, Ville was influenced by his music-loving parents, who exposed him to the songs of popular Finnish performers such as [[Tapio Rautavaara]] and [[Rauli Badding Somerjoki]], while an older cousin introduced him to the heavier sounds of bands like [[KISS (band)\|KISS]], [[Black Sabbath]] and [[Iron Maiden]]. Valo's first musical step was as a three year old [[bongo drum\|bongo]] drummer. At age nine, Valo attended the Pop and Jazz Conservatory in [[Helsinki]], where he studied several different musical genres. His father eventually opened a [[sex shop]] where Valo often worked before launching his career in music. Valo's father's [[sex shop]] is still in business today and doing well, according to interviews with Valo. His interests gradually expanded to include [[reggae]], early [[blues]] and country-oriented material such as [[Johnny Cash]], [[Roy Orbison]] and [[Neil Young]]. From a young age, Valo's enthusiasm for music also took a more active form of expression, and he participated in a large number of different Helsinki-based bands: B.L.O.O.D. (1986-89), Eloveena Boys (1987-88), Kemoterapia (1989-97) and numerous other, more obscure projects. ==Side Projects== ~~I am happy to answer any follow-up questions you have, post them here or on my talk page and i will respond when asap~~ Apart from working with HIM, and side-project [[Daniel Lioneye]], Valo has kept busy in the music world, collaborating with many artists over the years. He contributed guest vocals for The 69 Eyes, on [[Apocalyptica]]'s album ''[[Apocalyptica (album)\|Apocalyptica]]'' for the song "Bittersweet" (with [[The Rasmus]]' singer [[Lauri Ylönen]]), on [[The Bloodhound Gang]]'s ''[[Hefty Fine]]'' for the song "Something Diabolical", and on [[Cradle of Filth]]'s ''[[Thornography]]'' for the song "The Byronic Man". In 2007 he duetted with Polish German actress [[Natalia Avelon]] for a cover of [[Nancy Sinatra]] and [[Lee Hazlewood]]'s song "Summer Wine", part of the ''[[Das Wilde Leben]]'' soundtrack. A video featuring both was recorded as well. <br> ~~please note i am [[dyslexic]] so my spelling isnt 100% spot-on, just thought id mention that.~~ '''''Below is a list of Valo's side projects and collaborations.''''' ~~:''Candidate, self-nomination:''~~ * ''[[Skreppers]] & Ville Valo (1995) ~~<!-- IMPORTANT: Only registered Wikipedians may vote.
