Miisa biography

Miisa is a great eurodance project from Finland produced by Chris Owen, who was also songwriter and composer, featuring a female vocalist and a rapper. Miisa-Leena Päällysaho the front woman (born February 19 1970) was a model from Turku, who probably has never sung herself (real vocalist was Karin Strömfelt from Dreamland project). Anyway, she took part to the writing of some of her songs.

The very first single Hold On was released under Sony Music Entertainment (Finland) in 1993.

The single Set Me Free was arranged By J. Drome, P. Lowland & Chris Owen. It was released under label Epic and entered the USA's Dance Chart at #9.

The album Attitude was recorded at Finnvox Studios, mixed and engineered by J. Karjalainen, edited and mastered by Mika Jussila. Male vocals were done by David Sonko. The album was released under Dance Pool in 1994. It was released under the title Miisa for the US a year later. This time the style was mostly pop, without euro sounds anymore.

The single All Or Nothing, released in September 1995, was featured in the movie But I'm a Cheerleader (The gay bar scene). It was released under the label Ichiban and had some success in the US. In the whole it entered over 25 different charts. A video was shot for this single.

A vinyl containing remixes of Set Me Free was released in 1996. The remixes were done by C.L. McSpadden, Markus Schulz, and Chris Owen himself.

Miisa Päällysaho then worked as a make-up artist. She died on July 7th 2016 from a long disease as she was only 46.
