Jesse Kaikuranta - Pride at Espa

Jesse Kaikuranta is a remarkable interpreter whose calm voice has truly captured the hearts of Finns.

Since the early 2000s, he has performed as a conveyor of deep emotion and reached the nation's consciousness through his appearance on The Voice of Finland in 2012 and his subsequent debut album "Vie mut kotiin" (Take Me Home). The album's title track "Vie mut kotiin" and the singles "Järjetön rakkaus" (Crazy Love) and "Näytän sulle rannan" (I'll Show You the Shore) all became massive hits. The album achieved triple platinum status and earned five Emma Award nominations.

His second album "Vaikka minä muutuin" (Even Though I Changed) was released in 2013. The gold-certified album features the hit "Vielä täällä" (Still Here), which topped the radio charts for several weeks. His most recent full-length album came out in 2017, and since then the artist has released several singles.

The artist is currently writing new, more personal music, and the 2024 single "Tuu Tuu Tupakkarulla" demonstrates that Jesse's music continues to strike straight to the heart. He is a credible and genuinely moving live performer who commands both large-scale stage shows and intimate settings with equal skill.
