As Juhana Lehtiniemi grew up in Lappajärvi, Finland, he didn't have too
much to do with composing at the time. It was only after starting the
studies in Kaustinen Music College when he got surrounded by all kinds
of music projects. After some years in Tampere, Lehtiniemi got into
studying jazz piano in Jyväskylä Educational Consortium. During this
time he composed his first musical for symphonic orchestra, which
encouraged him to apply to composition school in Birmingham, UK.
Lehtiniemi received his Bachelor degree in composition and immediately
started his film composition studies in a Master program in Stockholm
Academy of Dramatic Arts, Sweden. The short film "Bekas" that he scored
as his examination film won a Student Academy Award in 2011.
