He then studied opera singing, but also turned the light music and took in the course of his life, 842 songs to record on. Mid-1930s, he headed the famous Dallapé orchestra.

Soon he began to compose his own songs. His melodies were mostly written in minor ( soon he got the nickname " Molli Jori " ) and thus fully met the sentimental soul of the Finns.
