Biography

JARON SEBASTIAN RAVEN started composing in the tender age of 9. His very first melody lines were put together with a flute Jaron's mother gave him for his ninth birthday. By the age of 10 he had already gotten his first electric guitar. Neither the flute nor the guitar was the child prodigy's first instrument, though. Jaron had been banging away on the drums ever since he was 5 years old, but when Jaron was 14, playing drums took a more serious nature.
He wrote and recorded songs with his 4-track tape recorder, taping the drum and guitar parts first. The compositions were gloomy and expressive heavy metal pieces, even moreso for a 15-year old boy. At 18, Jaron recorded his first 4-song, 16-track EP master, on which he played drums, bass, guitars and keyboards.

Numerous years in between, JARON SEBASTIAN RAVEN did finally found his band, under the moniker of VIRTUOCITY. VIRTUOCITY's debut album SECRET VISIONS displays a chock-full array of melodic, classically inspired compositions. Second album NORTHERN TWILIGHT SYMPHONY continues where last record ended, strong melodic neon classic metal and with new members the band is stronger than ever.

After second album band had lot of shows around Finland and other countries, but in 2007 lot of old members left and then new members Rieti Jauhiainen, Roni Mikkonen and Blackie came along. In 2007 band released demo containing two new songs. You can listen these at Mikseri.net or at their official myspace. In 2008 Band started to record new album Fire and Fury which is still on progress.
