He changed his name to Runne in 1936, and in the early part of his career was known as a trumpeter and an orchestra leader.[3] Upon his return to Finland from the post of conductor for the China Variety Orchestra in Stockholm in 1957, he joined the Musiikki-Fazer company as a studio manager.[3] In 1965 he moved to Yleisradio and became head conductor of the national radio orchestra; later he led the TV 1 orchestra as well.[3] He retired from both positions in 1992.[4]
He is most recognized for conducting Finland's entries at the Eurovision Song Contest. He first conducted the entry "Playboy" (which he also composed)[3] at Luxembourg in 1966.
