Best known as the mercurial and brooding frontman of Finnish goth rock giants
H.I.M.,
Ville Valo was born November 22, 1976, and -- after forming
H.I.M. -- became one of his country's most recognizable faces, being the only Finnish artist to snag a gold record in the United States. After six full-lengths with
H.I.M. (and a pair of compilations),
Valo struck out on his own -- in a sense -- and released the single "Summer Wine" with
Natalia Avelon in 2007. ~ Chris True
