Okay I have been racking the web for a couple of days. The only early 90's lead singer in a hair band that I can find that is from Findland is Georg Dolivo from the rock band Rhino Bucket.
Sheila said:

Back with their first studio album in 12 years, Rhino Bucket tips its hat to
the boogie, rock roots of Bon Scott-era AC/DC with ragged vocals, pounding
riffs and grooving back beats that proves them to be a vibrant and vital rock
band at the top of their game.
Recorded at Sound Face Studios in Hollywood and produced by Stefen Sigerson,
And Then It Got Ugly is every bit as cookin’ as their past efforts. One
listen to tracks like “Hammer & Nail,” “Invisible,” and “Monkey Boy Highway,”
and you’ll realize Rhino Bucket are back and stronger than ever.
“I’ve always said this band is white-boy suburban folk music. If you are
rolling on the streets of the suburbs doing stupid stuff ‘cause you’re bored,
aggressive and half-drunk all the time, this is the soundtrack to your life,”
exclaims lead singer Georg Dolivo.
Signed to Warner Bros. in 1990, Rhino Bucket’s self-titled debut yielded two
singles “One Night Stand” and “Blood on the Cross,” which heaved them to the
Billboard Top 40 singles chart and made them regulars on MTV’s Headbanger’s
Ball. Tours with the likes of The Black Crowes, Angel City, Junkyard, and
Debbie Harry ensued. Get Used to It, 1992’s follow up, was recorded by
legendary producer Terry Manning (Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top) and spawned the
single “Ride with Yourself,” which landed on the soundtrack to the
blockbuster film Wayne’s World.
“Warner Bros. had a lot of Sunset Strip type bands at the time, but weren’t
actively pursing street rock bands,” Dolivo remembers. “There were a certain
percentage of people in the company that knew they needed some rock ‘n’ roll
credibility and should sign some real rock bands. It was a great idea, but
they really didn’t know how to market that kind of music. We kept hearing,
‘Where’s the ballad?’ At the end of the day, they just didn’t know what to do
with us.”
However, drama unfolded when drummer Liam Jason abruptly left the group for
personal reasons. Never ones to falter, the band replaced him with former
AC/DC drummer Simon Wright, who remained with the band through the recording
and touring of the band’s third album, 1994’s Pain. The band toured
relentlessly until they called it quits due to lack of label support.
Never ones to say die, after a long hiatus a one-off sold-out reunion gig in
2000 inspired Georg and Reeve to reform the band.
“Rock ‘n’ roll is like a disease,” laughs Dolivo, “once you’ve got it you’re
stuck with it. I’ve tried blues and country and all sorts of different
styles, but I always come back to the rock. Maybe I’m just a one trick pony,
but I really like the trick I know.”

Armed with stunning six-stringer Brian Forsythe (formerly of Baltimore hit-
makers KIX), they gave Liam a call to get their backbeat back and made a
surprising discovery: Liam had transformed into Jackie Enx by way of sexual
reassignment surgery.
“I’ve known Jackie for the better part of my life. At first, it was a little
strange but a friend is the person inside, not the person you see on the
outside. Also, she seems happier now than ever before,” says Dolivo,
“Breaking down the barriers is what we’re doing here and it’s about time.”
The band hit the L.A. clubs and found their reputation had grown
substantially. They stormed the scene, gained the attention of hip indie
label Acetate Records, and started to buckle down to pen some new tunes.
“We were asked to write some music for the movie Rolling Kansas,” recalls
Forsythe of their first soundtrack endeavor together [more followed,
including the flicks Stateside, The Outdoorsmen and TV’s The Handler], “and
the more music we made together, it just felt right. Georg has an idea and
starts playing some lick, Jackie will join in, an idea is born and we all
jump in on it. It’s this chemistry thing.”
That chemistry is all over their latest release, from the explosive riffs, to
the soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics. And Then It Got Ugly is the much
needed shot of classic Rock n’ Roll that the music scene desperately craves,
and one that will have both new and old fans fiending for more.
