About this person

Gösta Erik Sundqvist was a Finnish musician, radio comedian and record producer. He was the lead singer of Leevi and the Leavings from the band's formation in the late 1970s until his death, and composed, wrote the lyrics for, and arranged every song the band released. In 1996 he received the prestigious Juha Vainio Award for lyric writing. Sundqvist systematically avoided publicity: Leevi and the Leavings never toured and gave only a single public performance under their own name, at the 1981 Finnish Eurovision preselection. From 1996 onwards he stopped giving interviews altogether and largely withdrew from public life.
