Ilkka Aaron Jääskeläinen (born 10 November 1979) is a singer who rose to popularity after winning Idols Finland 2, the Finnish version of Pop Idol with a 55% majority of the vote over runner-up Katri Ylander.
Jääskeläinen's debut album "Vuosisadan rakkaustarina" (transl. Love Story of the Century) was released in 2006. There has been two top singles in this disc, "Unohda en" (I Won't Forget) and "Soita" (Call).
Jääskeläinen was born in Hämeenlinna. He belongs to Tampere Pentecostal Church and has also made some Christian children's TV programs. He is known as a humoristic joker.
