Timeline

1940

His parents were entrepreneur Pentti Holopainen (1940–2021), and Kirsti Nortia-Holopainen, a former music and English teacher in a small elementary school.

He has an older sister named Susanna who works as a surgeon-urologist, and an older brother named Petri who is an autopsy assistant.

He and singer Elina Siirala are second cousins.

His musicality and skill in text expression showed early in school.

His mother signed him up for piano class in school when he was seven years old, and he later studied clarinet, tenor saxophone, piano and music theory for twelve years at a music college.

However, he has not played the clarinet nor the saxophone since the mid-nineties.

Originally aspiring to be a biologist, Holopainen had no interest in metal until his school foreign exchange partner took him to see Metallica and Guns N' Roses in America, and he became hooked.

Holopainen is a fan of Disney, Tolkien and Dragonlance.

1976

Tuomas Lauri Johannes Holopainen (born 25 December 1976) is a Finnish musician, songwriter, and record producer, best known as the primary songwriter, keyboardist, and a co-founding member of symphonic metal band Nightwish.

He has stated that his songwriting is influenced by harmonic film music.

Before founding Nightwish, he played in the band Darkwoods My Betrothed.

Tuomas Holopainen was born in Kitee on Christmas Day 1976.

1991

Holopainen joined his first bands in 1991.

He played in several bands, including recording keyboards for three albums with black metal band Darkwoods My Betrothed and playing with Dismal Silence, Nattvindens Gråt and Sethian.

He was then conscripted for the Finnish Army, where he managed to earn a position as the clarinet player of the military band, which spared him from gun-related activities.

1996

In July 1996, a 19-year-old Holopainen began thinking of starting a band of his own, for which he would write the music and play keyboards.

This was the birth of Nightwish, around a camp fire.

He asked Emppu Vuorinen and classmate Tarja Turunen to join what was then an acoustic project, with music he wrote during his time in the army.

After hearing Tarja's strong voice, and because of the metal influences of Vuorinen and drummer Jukka Nevalainen, Tuomas decided to turn Nightwish into a metal act.

Before becoming a full-time musician, Holopainen worked for two years as a high school stand-in teacher in his hometown.

1997

Nightwish's first non-demo release, Angels Fall First, came in 1997, followed by Oceanborn in 1998.

1999

In 1999, Holopainen and members of other Finnish metal acts like Embraze, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Charon and Reflexion started the gothic metal supergroup For My Pain....

However, as all the members were busy with their own bands, the project was postponed for the future.

2000

Nightwish's third studio album, Wishmaster, was released in 2000.

The third release sold even better than the previous album.

2001

In 2001, again the idea of For My Pain... was brought up, and the members started planning a debut.

2002

In Nightwish's fourth studio album Century Child, released in 2002, Holopainen began collaborating with symphonic orchestras from Finland and the United Kingdom, which was a change in the band's music and Holopainen's style of composition, and also allowed for more freedom with additional instruments.

The use of orchestral elements has been present in the studio album releases from Nightwish since.

2003

In 2003, For My Pain... released its debut album, entitled Fallen.

2006

In 2006 Holopainen said that he is "not religious, but an open-minded, thinking individual".

He does not consider "religion to be bad, but human interpretation of it."

2007

Holopainen has written several songs that have been included in movie soundtracks, including a collaboration with Nightwish bass player and male vocalist Marko Hietala on "While Your Lips Are Still Red", for the Finnish film Lieksa! in 2007.

2012

He also co-wrote the music for Nightwish's own film, Imaginaerum, released in November 2012.

2014

Holopainen released his first solo album Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge in 2014.

2015

Holopainen married Finnish pop singer Johanna Kurkela on 28 October 2015.

He is a vegetarian.

A new insect species, Sciophilia holopaineni, discovered by a Finnish biologist named Jukka Salmela of Metsähallitus Parks & Wildlife, has been named after Tuomas Holopainen, because of Holopainen's love for nature.

2020

He later recorded an album with them as a full member in 2020.

He also collaborated with the gothic metal band For My Pain... and the band of Timo Rautiainen.

The 2020 album Human :II: Nature contains an entirely symphonic composition, "All the Works of Nature Which Adorn the World".
