- Comment: The sources aren't enough to satisfy WP:GNG, and it's not clear how this would meet WP:MUSICBIO either? DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:11, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Paavo Olavi Siljamäki (born 25 April 1977) is a Finnish writer, producer and DJ.[1], comprising one-third of the British trance band Above & Beyond. "P.O.S" is his solo project. He has also made music for various artists. Together with his bandmates, he has founded the trance music label, Anjunabeats.
History
[edit]Based out of London since 1997, Siljamaki attended the University of Westminster where he met fellow Above & Beyond member Jono Grant.[2], where the duo discovered a mutual interest in Electronic Music. Siljamaki is credited as a producer under several Above & Beyond records[3][4]
P.O.S
[edit]Beside the production for Above & Beyond, Siljamaki's most successful export is the P.O.S alias. His accolades under the P.O.S alias include the critically acclaimed single Gravity released in 2005 on Anjunabeats, which was later remixed by James Grant and Andrew Bayer, back in 2012.
His mental health struggles[5] drew inspiration for new music under the alias. Siljamaki revived the P.O.S alias in the studio, extending his solo work, collaborating with the likes of Spencer Brown.
On 23 February 2024, Siljamaki played a one-hour live performance under his P.O.S alias, at the Ahoy Rotterdam for A State of Trance[6], premiering new material.
