Jussi Lehtisalo is a Finnish bassist, guitarist and singer from Pori, where he founded the band Circle in 1991. He is the only original member still in Circle, whose long run of records moves between krautrock, heavy metal and experimental rock. He also runs Ektro Records, which issues his many projects alongside other left-field rock and metal. With Circle's Tomi Leppänen and Janne Westerlund, Lehtisalo formed the stoner rock group Pharaoh Overlord, and with Circle keyboardist Mika Rättö he records as the duo Rättö ja Lehtisalo. He also plays in Steel Mammoth.
