He has. The pronunciation comes from Finnish. How to pronounce it. See how it's similar with the Finnish accent?

He also pronounces the "i" the same in both words. So I guess it's because of his Finnish accent? Hey OP! We have your answer!

He has a strong Swedish accent on how he's pronouncing his own name though
