Biografia
[modifica | modifica wikitesto]Eicca Toppinen ha cominciato a suonare il violoncello all'età di 9 anni (tutte le sue sorelle suonavano uno strumento ed era curioso di suonarne uno anche lui) e si è diplomato all'Accademia Sibelius. Prima degli Apocalyptica ha suonato in una band chiamata Cello Sextet con alcuni amici dell'Accademia Sibelius. Due di questi erano Antero Manninen e Paavo Lötjönen che fanno o hanno fatto parte degli Apocalyptica. Oltre al violoncello, Toppinen suona la batteria, la chitarra ed il piano.
È sposato con l'attrice finlandese Kirsi Ylijoki con la quale ha avuto due figli: Eelis e Ilmari. Dal 2009, insieme alla sua compagna, fonda il gruppo rock'n'roll Cherry & The Vipers, riscuotendo un discreto successo nell'ambito musicale finlandese, abbandonando il violoncello per passare alla batteria.
