Artist / Songwriter / Producer, FINNEAS - Pensado's Place
Рет қаралды 114,175
5 жыл бұрынAt only 21-years-old, the multi-talented Finneas O’Connell has already become a buzzing and
sought-after producer, songwriter and artist. Born and raised in East Los Angeles, Finneas was homeschooled alongside his younger sister, Billie Eilish. In 2016 Finneas wrote a song titled “Ocean Eyes” in his bedroom studio. After asking his sister, Billie, to record the track and then combing her sweet soaring voice with sparse clean production, the brother-sister duo decided to upload the track to Soundcloud. That single became the breakout hit for Billie Eilish, quickly grabbing her a record deal with Interscope and gaining major media buzz. The siblings continued to write and record together for Billie’s solo project, creating her debut EP don’t smile at me and her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Working behind the scenes on numerous hit singles, 2018 marked the year that Finneas steps out into the spotlight with his own innovative and ambitious solo project. He is ahead of his time in artistry, songwriting, and production alike. Please welcome to The Place, FINNEAS!

@@TheBlashMusic Yup. I haven't checked the credits on everything but i'm pretty sure most of Billie Eilish is really Billie and Finneas as a duo act, but it's not marketed that way. But then that's always the way it's been. People say "yeah I love Jay Z!" and start humming a tune written by No ID but they probably don't even know who No ID is.

I understand why people can get annoyed with them mentioning him always as "Billie's brother" but *that's* where he got his start! Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis are 2 of the biggest songwriters/producers of our time (esp in R&B) who've worked with a multitude of artist but are best known for working with Janet Jackson. Once Finneas branches out more he'll get his feet deep in with his other artist but Billie is where his major start came, so give it some time people. Sheesh

Kévin Isabelle it’s a lot about what parents you have. If you give a 4 year old all musictheory and as well playing an instrument and let him produce music as early on he wants to do it. I think these kids had really supportive ”outside the box” thinking parents as well.

@@RememberingGames Haha, Ah Yes, well that can also happen, I think it has very much to do with how parents raise their children. No parent is perfect. But if they can give you a head start that is good. But there is also a lot of kids that get turned off by music, because their parents are too eager too early so it kind of backfires. It's def. a balance between not only music but everything else in life and understanding children and the parent relationship. Some children just don't care at all to pursue something their parents liked and I think it is important to respect that as well.. There is beauty in so much music, it doesnt't have to be fusion. But yeah I've met my fair share of these people. I enjoy complex music but most of all music that speaks to me. And that can be 3 chord song as well. But with that said the production side of music is very important today no matter the style.
