Toppinen grew up in Vantaa’s Hakunila and has two older sisters and two brothers. Toppinen began to play the cello at the age of 9, and decided to start playing drums at the same time. He called himself Eicca from a very young age to avoid confusion with his sister’s name, Äinö Toppinen.

He attended the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, where he met Paavo Lötjönen, Antero Manninen and Max Lilja. When he attended Sibelius, Eicca couldn’t get an apartment or student support money because he lived too close to Helsinki; where the Academy resides. In the beginning, that made Eicca feel down. He tried to get away from his parents’ house, but that wouldn’t work: he had to be at least 21 years old, and he couldn’t afford living by himself. After graduating, he played for several orchestras, like “Radio Symphony Orchestra”and “Avanti”. He’s also a founding member of the Sibelius Academy’s Cellosextet.

In 1993, he changed his mind about college life. The members of the young Vivo Christian Orchestra got to witness how their orchestra mates played 3 songs from one ofMetallica’s album, Ride the Lightning. Two years later, Apocalyptica performed at Helsinki’s Teatro Heavy Metal Club.[1] A week later, Kari Hynninen of Zen Garden Records contacted Eicca for a deal to make their very first record: Plays Metallica By Four Cellos.
