  • FINNEAS creates music that catches ears with its unique production details and honest approach to composition. His process of finding sounds in the world around him and using instruments guide his songwriting and has led to a form of self-expression that's inspired millions - from his solo work as an artist to his production collaborations with numerous musicians, mostly notably his younger sister Billie Eilish.
    Here, FINNEAS breaks down the production choices and inspiration behind his song "Can't Wait to Be Dead" and discusses how creating something new and original is what continues to motivate him as a musician.

    Finneas is the reason that so many of us home producers can dream that we can get to his level too. Love Finneas.

    maybe, not everyone knows that Finneas uses Logic Pro as a DAW. i use it too, and i agree 101% with him about the fact that you can produce just with a laptop and nothing else (maybe some good headphones tho)
