An electronic music artist from Finland, producing laid back melodic house music. Has gained international acclaim mostly by his releases on F Communications, a French label.

Jori was born 1973 in Kemi and started creating music in the late 80s. He moved to Oulu in order to study in its university, and while there he co-founded the legendary (but sadly defunct) label Lumi Records. Jori produced his breakthrough records in Oulu, and it continued to be his base of operations for many years. Currently he resides in Helsinki.
