Käärijä piano sheet music of popular songs

Jere Pöyhönen (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈjere ˈpøy̯hønen]; born 21 October 1993), known professionally as Käärijä (Finnish: [ˈkæːrijæ]), is a Finnish rapper, singer and songwriter. In 2020, he released his debut album Fantastista. He is set to represent Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 with the song "Cha Cha Cha". Pöyhönen grew up in the Ruskeasanta neighbourhood of Vantaa, Greater Helsinki. He discovered his passion for music while learning to play the drums, and started producing music in 2014. His stage name (derived from the verb kääriä, "to wrap") is a multilingual play on words: It figuratively means someone winning big in gambling ("wrapping" themselves in money), but literally translates as "wrapper", a homonym of the word "rapper".
