Käärijä
Jere Pöyhönen, known professionally as Käärijä, is a Finnish rapper, singer and songwriter.
Käärijä is an artist who is almost impossible to define. Unabashed and unpredictable, Käärijä loves to break boundaries, follow his own beat and explore new things. Käärijä’s debut album Fantastista was released in 2020. The artist’s music takes on a whole new dimension live – indeed, Käärijä’s unfettered live performances are what he’s known for.
Käärijä was selected to represent Finland in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest held in Liverpool, with the song "Cha Cha Cha". He reached second place overall but was considered the people's choice, with an overwhelming lead in the public votes - achieving the second most televotes ever in Eurovision's history.
