Musta Joutsen was formed in 2006 at Hyvinkää, Finland when Toni Loimuneva (quitar), Markus Nieminen (keyboard) ja Teemu Skyttä (base) posted a message to Internet for finding new band members. Posting was successful; guitarist Ertsi Eerola and singer Katriina Wiiala replied. When Manu Oikarinen was added as drummer, lineup of Musta Joutsen was ready. All members have been on various bands, but perhaps the most known is Katriina's role as lead singer of Stratovarius in 2004.
