Alsa Ojala is a trans feminine artist/writer living in Helsinki. She grew up in such a boring small town in Finland that she had to do something to survive. That something was electronic music. Keiska has been her moniker for music related work since 2011. As a teenager she started going to dubstep club nights held in Helsinki, and club music culture became her primary art education. Her secondary art education was studying sound design and creative writing at The Theatre Academy of Helsinki. She graduated as a Master of Sound Design in 2023. Ojala has performed live probably over fifty times since the last eleven years and she has never played the same set twice. Since the early 2010s she has been constantly trying to expand her artistic endeavours. Semi-recent experiments include solo exhibition at Helsinki's Lou Gallery (2024) and multiple live perfomances involving spoken-word performance. She wrote/produced audio essay about the experience of being transgender in 2023 for the Finnish national radio YLE. Ojala also writes poetry, non-fiction and cultural criticism.
