Jyrki Pekka Emil Linnankivi (born 15 October 1968[1]), known professionally as Jyrki 69, is a Finnish singer who is the lead vocalist of the gothic rock band The 69 Eyes. In their early years, the band's sound was closer to glam metal, but since the album Blessed Be they have shifted into gothic rock.[2] The 69 Eyes prefer to label their sound as "goth'n'roll".[2]
Jyrki's low and operatic bass-baritone vocal tone is reminiscent of fellow musicians Peter Steele of the gothic metal band Type O Negative and Andrew Eldritch of the gothic rock band The Sisters of Mercy (he covered their 1987 hit "This Corrosion" with Maryslim in 2007).[3] His voice has been influenced by Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, Iggy Pop, David Bowie and Glenn Danzig. He has written most of the lyrics of their songs.[2]
