kirjoittaja

Takay-Sin is the new solo project, and alter ego of Tellervo Kalleinen.

Takay-Sin’s debut EP Silmänkorkeudelta (Minna Records, 24 October 2025) weaves six atmospheric tracks into a cohesive journey. Finnish and English lyrics flow through emotive melodies, guiding the listener from the shadows of giants to glow of the burning cinema. Strings, piano, electric guitar, flugelhorn and harp shape the distinctive sound of the debut.
