About Jyrki 69

  • Jyrki 69 (born Jyrki Pekka Emil Linnankivi on October 15, 1968), is the lead vocalist for Finnish rock band The 69 Eyes.
  • In their early years, the band's sound was more closer to glam metal, but since the album Blessed Be they have shifted into gothic rock.
  • The 69 Eyes prefer to label their sound as goth'n'roll.Jyrki's low and operatic bass-baritone vocal tone is reminiscent of fellow musicians Peter Steele of the gothic metal band Type O Negative and Andrew Eldritch of the gothic rock band The Sisters of Mercy (he covered their 1987 hit This Corrosion with Maryslim in 2007).
  • His voice has been influenced by Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, and Glenn Danzig.
  • He has written most of the lyrics of their songs.
