Olli Tukiainen (born April 8th, 1976) is one of the founding members and lead guitarist of the Finnish alternative rock band, Poets of the Fall. He studied in Pop/Jazz Conservatory, Oulunkylä, Helsinki. He portrays Bob Balder from PotF's alter-ego band Old Gods of Asgard in Alan Wake II.
He released the solo track Firefly under the name Ollie T on 8th December 2017 - a guitar showpiece in the same vein as Rogue. As the track features Jani Snellman on Bass, Jari Salminen on drums and Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen on Keyboards - with a video directed by Miika Hakala and Marko Saaresto as the art director, it's essentially a Poets of the Fall release.
On 13th December 2024 he released the debut solo album Lost Within the Fire as Ollie T, featuring the other members of Poets of the Fall and some vocals by Marko Saaresto.
