Tommi Liimatainen, the spouse and manager of Katri Helena, who finished her career on Saturday, joked after the gig that she would become unemployed. In reality, the situation is different.
– We agreed on Monday that the post would continue, says Liimatainen.
Although Katri Helena’s active career is over, the manager still has a job to deal with. Close cooperation with the record company continues and new plans are already under development.
– If I calculate correctly, a three -year plan on how to continue is already under development.
For example, Liimatainen says it is likely that Katri Helena will sometimes be made into a movie.
– I have been closely following how Abba, for example, has been treated after their performers. Yes, the intention would be to better try to handle Katri Helena on a Finnish scale. There is still plenty of work even though the artist does not occur.
Liimatainen thinks that even though Katri Helena’s career is over, her music will not die.
-Since the kids, Katri Helena fans are, so that music doesn’t die. After all, they have to offer different things as age is more. But let’s see what is invented.
The concert of the Olympic Stadium took all the time
At the end of Katri Helena’s career, a lot of time will be released on the Liimatainen calendar. Especially for the last three years, Katri Helena’s manager was very busy.
– Katri Helena’s Management Nerve Pääpääkeskus was at home. Katri Helena made all the last decisions and circled all the areas through my machine.
The Olympic Stadium concert required 24 -hour work. However, for a minute, Liimatainen would not change.
– I did it with the threat of my health. Sometimes I was asked at home if I didn’t sleep. I replied that I could sleep when the violin was silent.
Saturday’s closing concert was the result of a long -term project. According to Liimatainen, Katri Helena had the first visions of the gig three years ago.
– Last Saturday was one indication that big dreams come true when you can work enough for them.
Respite
Liimatainen’s autumn continues Gimmick— Jukka Kuoppamäki – Thanks for the music concerts. He also reveals that he has recently received an interesting job offer outside the industry. According to him, this is a very big company.
– I said that if you could offer such conditions that you still don’t have to watch the clock, then I am interested.
Some artists have been in contact with Liimatainen and an appointment with one artist has been agreed with one artist to negotiate the collaborative patterns.
– I said to him when it was communicated that if we started working together, we don’t have to stay together, Liimatainen laughs.
Now Liimatainen is going to breathe for a moment. However, new projects are constantly pending and he says he truly enjoy his work.
-I’m still a young man, a 48 year old, so I can’t retire even though the artist is.
Although working between Liimatainen and Katri Helena changes their shape, Liimatainen does not believe that the relationship between them would change.
– Probably more to go fishing. It would also like to visit Scotland next spring.
