Paavo Lötjönen (born 29 July 1968) is a cello player for Finnish band Apocalyptica.[1] Paavo comes from a family where both of his parents were professional musicians.[2] At the age of 6,[3] he took a cello and decided that would be the instrument he would play all his life. Like fellow band members Perttu Kivilaakso and Eicca Toppinen, he attended Sibelius Academy in Helsinki.[4]
20 years later, Paavo got his "Solist Cellist" diploma at the Sibelius Academy, and shortly after began to work as a cello teacher in music schools.[4] He played in the "Finnish National Opera" as well.[4] He plays a Gulbrandt Enger cello (1882) with a R. Wainio bow.
Apart from his work with Apocalyptica, he is a cello teacher and a skiing instructor.[5] He also enjoys sky-diving, windsurfing, and water skiing.[4]
