Meri-Tuuli Elorinne[1] (born September 10, 1985, in Helsinki), better known by her stage nameJippu, is aFinnish pop singer.
Her father, Jorma Elorinne was an operatic tenor. She started singing very early and at the age of 11, was part of The Kids. She released her single "Kii" in 2005 that was used as a theme song forFC Venus, a Finnish romantic comedy film directed byJoona Tena. Based on this, she released her debut albumSalaisuuksia, joita yksinäiset huutaa unissaan in September 2006. She won "Best debut album" for her release duringEmma-gaala Finnish music awards in 2007. Her follow-up album,Kuka teki minusta tän naisen, went gold, reaching the top of the Finnish Albums Chart.
In 2008, she took part in the selection process to represent Finland in theEurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "Kanna minut", but was unsuccessful in her bid as the choice went toTeräsbetoni and their song "Missä miehet ratsastaa"
In late 2009 her collaboration withSamuli Edelmann resulted in a very successful joint album entitledPimeä onni that reached No. 2 in the Finnish Albums Chart. Her duo single "Jos sä tahdot niin" with Edelmann topped the Finnish singles chart followed by another single with Edelmann, the title track "Pimeä onni" which hit the top 20. She returned in 2012 with her solo album released in April 2012 entitledVäärinpäin lentävät linnut.
