If you’re looking for your new favorite artist, you have come to the right place! Finneas O’Connell, better known as FINNEAS, is most famously known for co-writing and producing for his sister Billie Eilish. While helping Eilish, he has alos released his own solo music. There are more reasons to love FINNEAS than I can count, so today I will share five with you.

He writes and produces his own music

Here’s his latest release. “I kind of wrote this song as if you were singing to your loved one who was in a hospital bed while the world was protesting outside. I did make a point to keep the song fairly ambiguous because I know everybody’s sort of going through different circumstances of the same things right now,” said FINNEAS in his interview with WSJ Magazine. 

His sound is unique

“Let’s Fall in Love for the Night” is FINNEAS’ most popular single. Although the song has a pop feel, he breaks the pop stereotype by starting the track with a more 1960’s radio recording feel.

His love for his girlfriend, Claudia Sulewski is to die for

FINNEAS wrote the first verse of his hit song, “Claudia” the day after he met her.

The bond Billie and him share is so pure

In the post above, FINNEAS wrote a heartfelt thank you note to his sister, explaining how grateful he was of her. “You’re my best friend forever and no one makes me laugh harder. There’s nothing I don’t love about you. Nothing. They don’t deserve you” he wrote in his caption.

He uses his platform to raise awareness on public issues

If you follow his twitter page (@finneas), you will find many tweets similar to the one above. He also promotes mask wearing and attempts to inform his followers about other issues currently going on.

Now that you know a bit more about FINNEAS, I hope he becomes your new favorite artist!
