Jussi Reijonen

Born: November 11, 1980

Born in Rovaniemi, a small town on the Arctic Circle in Finnish Lapland, having grown up in Finland, Jordan, Tanzania, Oman and Lebanon, and spending much of his adulthood in the United States, Jussi Reijonen has lived a life soaking up sounds, sights, scents and shades of Nordic, Arabic, East African and North American aesthetics and expression, all of which are reflected in his creative work as composer, improviser and performer.

Jussi’s debut album un | ان [unmusic 2013] was released to great critical acclaim, with Guitar Player magazine referring to it as “extraordinary music” and Lucid Culture calling it a “still, spacious, slowly unwinding masterpiece”. The album was nominated for an Independent Music Award in 2014.
