Later career[edit]

After The Crash disbanded, Brunila has concentrated on writing music for other Finnish artists, including Anna Abreu, Saara and Jenni Vartiainen. He has also written songs for British acts like Pixie Lott and JLS and American R&B artist Trey Songz.[3] When a song "Never Again" was featured on Songz's album Chapter V, Brunila became the first Finn to have co-written a song for an album at the top of the Billboard 200 album chart.[4]

Studio Killers[edit]

In 2011, a new virtual band Studio Killers started to gain success with their single "Ode to the Bouncer" and was said to have members from Finland, Denmark, and the United Kingdom. The group has never disclosed the identities of its members, but Brunila has been hypothesized to be the voice of the band's singer, Cherry.[5]

Personal life[edit]

Teemu Brunila is a graduate of the University of Turku, majoring in law. He has stated, however, that he has no intentions to start practicing law.[6]
