Antti Kujanpää (b. 1979) is a versatile pianist and keyboardist equally at home on stage with symphony orchestras and in intimate duo settings. A Master of Music in jazz performance, he feels at home in folk music, pop/rock, and film music.
Kujanpää’s debut album, Afterimage, was released in September 2026. The album is available on vinyl, CD, and via streaming (stereo & Dolby Atmos).
Kujanpää composes and arranges music across genres for a variety of ensembles, from symphony orchestras and big bands to choirs and smaller groups. He performs with numerous ensembles, including Yona, Reporters, Jaakko Laitinen & Lapin Lisä, Talambo, Jargoslavia, Duo Aili Ikonen & Antti Kujanpää, Lauri Porra’s Seasons in Moominvalley, Huojuu Elämän Puu, Esa Onttonen Lab and Niina Hannula. His piano performances are featured in Finland’s Official Soundscape, Finnair’s new sound identity (Music for Travellers), and in films such as Stormskerry Maja and The Story of Kullervo.
In addition to his musical pursuits, Kujanpää works as a video producer, filming and editing music videos, short films, live concerts and livestream productions.
