Indica was founded 2001 by Jonsu, Heini, Sirkku, Jenny and Laura in Helsinki, Finland. Even before Indica the girls played in several combos, since they discovered their musical skills in their early childhood. Indica signed their contract with manager Peter Kokljuschin in December 2002. In 2003 the girls got their first recordcontract with SonyMusic Finland having their debutalbum "Ikuinen virta" released the same year. The album sold platinum in Finland.

Indicas music is written and composed by the charismatic Jonsu. According to her, she gets inspired by moviesoundtracks, while her lyrics contain pieces of her own live aswell as the lives of her friends and even her dreams.

In 2007 Indica joined finlands number 1 export Nightwish on their scandinavian tour which next to increasing the popularity of the band, led to a tight co-op with Nightwish mastermind Tuomas Holopainen. In 2008 Indicas fourth album "Valoissa - (In the Lights)" was released, which produced by Tuomas Holopainen. Next to this, Tuomas and Jonsu recorded a new version of Nightwish´s "Last of the wilds" now called "Erämaan Viimeinen", featuring Jonsus vocals.

In 2009 Indica hooked up with Nightwish once more as their supporting act on Nightwish´s European Deja Vu Tour, thereby broadening Indicas fanbase within europe. On June 4th 2010 Indicas "In passing" from their first english Album "A way Away" was released in Europe and hit the charts like a bombshell.

Quote Tuomas Holopainen: "Indica has such sights to show you! You will be spellbound for a lifetime!".

The bandname Indica itself, according to Jonsu, is not related to the canabisplant, yet coming from the latin word Indigo.
