Born in Forssa,[1] Toikka performed in many rap bands such as Musta-Lista and Laulavat Kulkurit.[2] In his last years he worked as a singer, and on 4 January 2019 he published a music video called "Edelleen edellä".[2] The so-called "Jonne" memes about Toikka started when he and his friends published photographs of him at the IRC-Galleria website. These photographs were later combined with quotes called "Jonne" memes.[2]
Toikka, who lived almost his entire life in Malminkartano in Helsinki, died suddenly in his sleep of an enlarged heart on the couch of his childhood friend Taisto Palm (artist name Taisto Tapulist) in Helsinki on 21 January 2019.[3]
Toikka's second studio album MKDMSK was published posthumously in November 2019. The album was finished by the producer-musician-manager Mikko "Pyhimys" Kuoppala.[4]
