Jari Mäenpää, born in Finland (23.12.1977), is the founder of metal band Wintersun in which he performs vocals and plays guitar. He also played bass and keyboards on Wintersun's first album before hiring a full-time line-up.
He started playing at 14 or 15, when his friend Oliver Fokin got a guitar
and he showed him some Metallica riffs. He thought they sounded pretty cool,
so he wanted to learn too.
Before forming Wintersun Jari was best known for his time in the Viking/Folk band Ensiferum, which he joined in 1996 after leaving his prior band named Immemorial.
Wintersun was initially planned as a parallel project alongside Ensiferum, but in January 2004 he was forced to leave Ensiferum due to clashes between their touring schedule and the studio recording time he had booked for Wintersun.
In 1997 Jari had to put his musical career on hold to take part in Finland's compulsory military service. In an interview Jari admitted he disliked the time he spent in the military, and suspects it's where he acquired tuberculosis.Some of the inspirations for the Wintersun lyrics come from that dark period of his life .
Jari was also was a member of the band ArthemesiA.He likes meat, fish and extra cold Coca Cola in 0,33 glass bottle.
Jari's equipment:
Pod Pro, Mesaboogie ,Jackson, Tokai Telecaster ; Ibanez PGM, Ibanez Jems
