Mirella Linéa Olivia Roininen (born 8 May 2005), is a Finnish singer, songwriter, and dancer. Roininen began her career in 2020, after winning Melodi Grand Prix, and was signed to Universal Music Finland in 2022. Her career breakthrough came in 2023 with the release of the single "Sua sattuu", which peaked within the top ten in Finland, followed by the release of four consecutive number-one hits and her number-one debut studio album Kunpa oisin kertunut (2024).

Early life

Roininen was born on 8 May 2005 in Vantaa to a Swedish-speaking Finnish mother and father Tero Roininen, a Finn of partial Romani heritage. Her father is a musician and songwriter who belonged to the Finnish rap collective GG Caravan. Roininen has a younger brother, and is a Christian. While Roininen was not raised within Romani culture, she has cited bullying and discrimination in primary school due to her Romani heritage. Her native language is Swedish, and she began writing songs in Swedish, followed by English.

Roininen has been active in singing and dancing ever since her childhood. She began dance classes at age two, and singing lessons at age 13. Roininen also attended a music school, where she learned how to play the piano. As a dancer, Roininen specialized in contemporary dance and appeared in a music video for Finnish singer Viivi. She stopped dancing in order to focus on singing at age 16.

Roininen began high school in Helsinki in 2021, studying music, but later transferred to the adult education program after her career breakthrough. She is set to graduate in 2025.

Career

Roininen began her career in 2020, after being selected as a contestant for Melodi Grand Prix, a children's song contest broadcast on Yle Fem. She competed with the song "Landet ingenstans", and went on to win the competition. She had previously taken part in the competition as a backup dancer in 2018, and was inspired to compete as a singer after participating in a karaoke contest. After winning Melodi Grand Prix, Roininen released the follow-up single "Idiot", which received airplay on Swedish radio.

2023–present: Kunpa oisin kertonut and breakthrough

In 2022, Roininen was signed to Universal Music Finland after being discovered through TikTok by Kristiina Wheeler, who was working as an artists and repertoire manager at the label. Roininen went on to release her major-label debut single "Sua sattuu" in October 2023, also becoming her first song in the Finnish language. The song was her commercial breakthrough in Finland, peaking within the top ten and becoming certified gold within two months.

Following the success of "Sua sattuu", Roininen released the follow-up single "Timanttei" in January 2024. "Timanttei" became a smash hit in Finland, peaking at number-one while also attracting over 15 million views on TikTok before even its official release. The song was later chosen as the Song of the Year in a poll by Finnish music producers. Her success continued with the release of the singles "Uuteen eilisen", "Luotathan" with Lauri Haav, and "Löytää mut", all of which became number-one hits in Finland.

Roininen released her debut studio album Kunpa oisin kertunut in November 2024. The album went on to peak at number-one, be certified quadruple platinum in Finland, and break records as the most-streamed Finnish album in both its first day and first week of release.
