About Kojo (singer)
- Timo Kojo (born 9 May 1953, in Helsinki) is a Finnish pop rock singer.
- He started his recording career in 1977 when his band, Madame George, released their only album, Madame George: What's Happening?. Kojo's first solo album, So Mean, was a hit in Finland.
- The second sold equally well, though it was not considered quite as good.
- In 1981, however, his third solo album was a flop. In Eurovision Song Contest of 1982 he represented his country with the entry Nuku pommiin (Ban the Bomb!), a rock song with music by Jim Pembroke and lyrics by Juice Leskinen; the conductor was Ossi Runne.
- The song performed in Finnish was a protest against nuclear bombs and the danger of a nuclear war in Europe (the Cold War was still under way in 1982).
- The song received no points (nul points).
- Despite this poor result, Kojo continued his career in his native country. Kojo's music declined in popularity in Finland after 1982; however, he remains well-known on the strength of his Eurovision career.
