Born Jukka Tapio Karjalainen on April 1, 1957, in Helsinki, he made his album debut in 1981 with J. Karjalainen ja Mustat Lasit. Follow-up albums were released more or less annually throughout the 1980s and beyond. Among his follow-up releases, Electric Sauna (1996) was especially successful.

Among his singles, "On Kaikki Niinkuin Ennenkin" (1998) and "Valtatie" (2002) were especially big hits. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
