About Tarja:
One of the brightest stars of the symphonic rock scene, Tarja Turunen is arguably the most internationally renowned Finnish voice in music.

Records won her awards and gained international fame.
The unique combination of metal music and Taja’s soprano lead vocals spawned a new genre that quickly gained critical and commercial popularity and inspired many other metal bands and performers. But it wasn’t her destiny to sing only the works of others, and her talent could only blossom outside that crate, Taja had to walk alone.
Having finally been able to follow her own inspirations, hearts and dreams, Tarja has successfully devoted herself to both classical and rock music.

In 2015 and 2016, she was also busy appearing as a coach on two seasons of The Voice of Finland, the most-watched TV show on Finnish Channel 4, leading her team to two consecutive victories. led. It happened earlier in Finnish show history.
After more than 15 years of solo career, it’s finally time to celebrate. The Best Of: Living the Dream brings together the best and most beloved songs of Tarja’s prolific solo career in one excellent package.
