JAAKKO EINO KALEVI

Jaakko Eino Kalevi’s music could be described as entertainingly cheerful and original. The young artist, hailing from the city of Jyväskylä in Central Finland, has played in a variety of bands, from reggae groups Laulurastas, Tasottavat and Profeetta & Uusi Maailmanuskonto to folk band Muuan Mies.

As a solo artist, Jaakko’s music is a colourful and open-minded mix of everything from electro to disco and funk to jazz. The scale extends from artistic drone to playful dance music. Also working as a part-time tram driver, the self-taught multi-instrumentalist uses an assortment of different instruments on his recordings. Released in July, Jaakko’s debut album Dragon Quest contains a variety of danceable material from leftfield indie pop to beat-heavy electro.
