He's written most of the lyrics of their songs.〔 ==Other activities== He is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for Finland and also has a M.Sc. degree in Analytical Chemistry.〔(UNICEF Finland )〕 In 2005 and 2006 he spent time in Kenya as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and in November was honoured with a TOYP award by Junior Chamber International (JCI) in Seoul, South Korea.〔(The 69 Eyes † Official website )〕 In October 2013, Jyrki joined forces with Danny B.
