Kojo (singer)


Timo Kojo is a Finnish pop rock singer. He started his recording career in 1977 when his band, Madame George, released their only album, Madame George: What's Happening?.
Kojo's first solo album, So Mean, was a hit in Finland. The second sold equally well, though it was not considered quite as good. In 1981, however, his third solo album was a flop.
In the Eurovision Song Contest of 1982 he represented his country with the entry Nuku pommiin, a rock song with music by Jim Pembroke and lyrics by Juice Leskinen; the conductor was Ossi Runne. The song performed in Finnish was a protest against nuclear bombs and the danger of a nuclear war in Europe. The song received no points. Despite this poor result, Kojo continued his career in his native country.
Kojo's music declined in popularity in Finland after 1982; however, he remains well known on the strength of his Eurovision career.
