Petra Gargano (born 1985, Helsinki) is a Finnish singer-songwriter who rose to fame as the lead vocalist of Tiktak, Finland's most popular girl band around the turn of the millennium. After the band folded in 2007, she built a solo career across four studio albums, gradually steering her sound toward electric-guitar-driven rock. In 2026 she launched a new chapter under her full name, releasing the single Vahvana on her own label and the memoir Comeback (Tammi).
Petra Gargano released the single Vahvana - her first release on her own label Petra Music Oy - in early March 2026, featuring Tuomas Kauhanen.
Her debut book Comeback (Tammi), the first published account of Tiktak's history, was released on 11 March 2026 and celebrated with a gig at On The Rocks in Helsinki.
Gargano adopted her full name Petra Gargano as her artist name in March 2026, having previously performed simply as Petra.
She appeared as a contestant on the new season of Nelonen's reality series Petolliset, which began on 14 March 2026.
