I always wanted to be on tour or making albums.
FINNEASI always wanted to be on tour or making albums.
FINNEASTo be honest, I’ve found so many more friends in the music industry than people I disagree with. I certainly haven’t been made to feel like an outsider.
FINNEASKids have tools to do what I’m doing.
FINNEASI have nothing against reverb.
FINNEASWhen we are making a song for Billie I want it to resonate and speak the truth with her and want it to be a piece of fabric she can wear.
FINNEASWhen I wrote ‘When the Party’s Over,’ it had a universal quality.
FINNEASThe way that we tried to approach every piece of music is, if the song had a brain, it would be aware of its catalog.
FINNEASI’m just obsessed with music I guess.
FINNEASIf I have experienced something in my life, it’s probably going to be written about, and I don’t particularly care if the person I’m writing about wants to be written about.
FINNEASI feel like you’re able to be your most creative in private environments, and not a studio where an A&R person is coming in, telling us a song isn’t a smash.
FINNEASI just have no interest in being at a party.
FINNEASWhat I really didn’t want to do is work with other people and have them go, ‘Oh, Finneas just does that sound for everybody.’ The Billie sound is only Billie – I’ll only do that for her.
FINNEASYou know, that’s kind of always been our philosophy: not letting the place that we are get in the way of making great music.
FINNEASWell, predominately, if I’m writing for another artist, I’m sitting there with them and we’re writing it together.
FINNEASI’m a bad guitar tuner. I have to pay somebody to tune my guitars.
