Current revision
Timo Kotipelto (born March 15 1969 in Lappajärvi, Finland) is the vocalist of the Finnish power metal band Stratovarius.
Kotipelto studied vocals at the pop/jazz conservatory in Helsinki, briefly singing for an amateur cover band named Filthy Asses. In summer of 1994, he applied to Stratovarius, who were looking for a singer at the time, and was accepted. The first album he recorded with the band was Fourth Dimension (1995). It is widely considered that it was Kotipelto's vocals that catapulted Stratovarius into international fame.
In late 2003, Kotipelto split from Stratovarius after intra-band disagreements, notably with guitarist Timo Tolkki. After much turmoil throughout 2004, he rejoined the band in January 2005.
