Joni Borodavkin

The sonic architect who transforms songs into cinematic experiences. Since co-founding End of You in 2003, Joni Borodavkin has been the mastermind behind the band's atmospheric soundscapes, weaving synthesizers and orchestral elements into the heavy guitar foundation. His keyboards don't just accompany - they create entire worlds, from the haunting piano of quiet verses to the massive synth walls that define the band's epic choruses.

Beyond his role as keyboardist, Joni shapes End of You's sound from multiple angles. As composer, he co-creates the musical landscapes that give the band their cinematic quality. As producer and engineer at his Hellhole Studios, he captures and refines the band's vision, understanding both the technical precision and emotional nuance needed to translate their live energy to record. His production on the comeback single "Stay" (2017) marked the beginning of End of You's new era, proving his evolution as both musician and sonic craftsman.

Twenty years in, Joni remains essential to End of You's identity. His ability to balance darkness with beauty, aggression with atmosphere, has helped define Finnish gothic metal for a generation. Whether he's laying down ethereal soundscapes, crafting crushing synth lines, or mixing the perfect balance in the studio, Joni Borodavkin ensures that every End of You song becomes an immersive experience.
