Miihkali Jaatinen
Miihkali grabs your attention with his multifaceted musical talents. Though comfortable in many roles, he’s made his mark as a banjoist, guitarist, and producer. His work shows uncompromising dedication to his craft coupled with a fearless imaginative spirit.
Formally trained at the Joensuu Conservatory, Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, and the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Miihkali has also gleaned invaluable hands-on knowledge from adventures in diverse musical realms such as children’s music, hardcore punk, bluegrass, metal, jazz, and world music to name but a few. This diverse education has shaped him into the consummate musician he is today—a virtuoso performer with an open mind and delightfully unpredictable creative edge.
Miihkali is a multidimensional music maker. He’s comfortable wearing many different hats, but the most visible part of his career he’s made as a guitarist, banjoist and producer. Regardless the role, he is known for both ambitious work ethics and unprejudiced creativity.
His formal education comes from Joensuu Conservatory, Metropolia University of Applied Sciences and the world famous Berklee College of Music. Less formal side of his musical persona has developed while getting his hands dirty in children’s music, hardcore punk, bluegrass, jazz and world music to name but a few.

Muodollisen oppinsa Miihkali on ammentanut Joensuun Konservatoriolta, Metropolia AMK:sta ja arvostetusta Berklee College of Musicista. Muusikkopersoonansa toinen, villimpi, puoli on kasvanut sadoilla keikoilla mm. lastenmusiikkiyhtye Hullujen Hattusten ja hänen omia sävellyksiään soittavan Miihkali and the Casters of the Universe kanssa. Sekä muodollinen että epämuodollinen koulutus ovat olleet tärkeitä ja muokanneet hänen muusikkopersoonansa sellaiseksi kuin se on – taiturimaiseksi, avarakatseiseksi ja ilahduttavalla tavalla arvaamattomaksi.
