Artist / Songwriter / Producer, FINNEAS - Pensado's Place
Ойын-сауық
At 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.

lol, its not a secret
hes so well spoken 🥺 it rlly shows in his songwriting, 7th week at #1 in billboards hot 100 songwriters, WHAT HE DESERVES his production, everything he does its amazing, a truly inspiring man :)
Finneas is just amazing. Intelligent, curious, open, and thoughtful. Great interview!
This guy is very mature for his age. What he has accomplished is amazing. Yes he has been afforded unique opportunities insofar as his parent's cultivation of his talents and potential are concerned, but without his work ethic, level-headedness and imagination those opportunities wouldn't have amounted to much. I look forward to his evolution as a producer, songwriter and artist. Excellent interview Dave and company!
Finneas O’Connell is such an old soul. So well balanced and mature, yet open to the possibilities. His age belies his maturity. A great talent indeed.
The story about writing "Ocean Eyes" on spec for a dance class is honestly super inspiring. It's great to know that even nowadays great music can get discovered without promo teams, marketing etc.
For my money, the most talented producer/songwriter combo in the world today. He's got his finger on the pulse of an entire generation. Truly special stuff
Yes! Been waiting for you guys to get this dude on. He’s making some really interesting music.
I greatly admire how he touches on songwriting credits. It's leaning towards extreme unfairness, his view is refreshing.
Wow, he's so humble. This man is the real deal, wise beyond his years.
This guy's outlook on artistry is beautiful. Simple but so real.
Happy they got FINNEAS ! He needs as respect as billie do. Without him we wouldn’t listen to such good songs
Just listened to his song 'I Lost A Friend' Absolute genius!!! Give this man 20 Grammy's
Love the show, But you guys cut him off way too much, he rarely gets to finish a topic before you ask new questions

THANK YOU!! I've been a big fan of FINNEAS' production since I heard "When the Party's Over" and I couldn't find any production content from him anywhere!
Love that you guys got Finneas on this show...You guys have been an absolute staple in my mixing/audio learning. You go deeper and the things you do are genuine and honest!
So grateful for this Interview. Makes me wanna do music. I'd love to talk or work with him one day that'd be amazing.
This was awesome, guys! Thanks for having the young genius on the show.

This is great. I had never realised how much thought and technical tinkering was being put into making this music. He really is a very accomplished sound engineer and very inventive. A very illuminating interview. Thanks 👍
he looks so happy, look at him
Nice to hear him talk tech. Great interview. Looking forward to part 2.
The episode I’ve legit been waiting in such intensity
Finneas is very articulate.
so talented it’s crazy

Down to earth, talented, articulate and honest. Magic combination. Not that often... He's a keeper. Dave is looking healthy and good looking.
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
21 year old grown ass man, much respect!
Sad he didn't accept his Grammys with an "aw, thanks man"
"Faking a song into existence" ... loved that!
I LOVE FINNEAS

Smart and articulate way beyond his years. Very inspiring

Great interview with a great, new talent. Thanks!
Yes
Definitely a fan of both, but I would totally go to a solo Finneas show. Someday hopefully I’ll get to meet him or maybe even do a session with him. Talent is off the charts.
Finneas ep is the best! I wish for him the same carrier as Billy has! He deserve it so much! I'm obsessed!
I love Billie and Finneas 😭😍
Inspirations ♥
Simplismente a pessoa que criou a sonoridade da Billie!

Hi guys, could you ask more songwriting questions that go beyond how you start a song!? I know its a bit off mixing & buying sweetwater gear topic. Otherwise very interesting indeed to hear from one of the top creative people of todays zeitgeist!
18:34 dave: where do you get your samples? finneas: i make my own dave: ...splice? lol
only here for Finn
He is the best
Great, excited to listen to him. Some of the Billie Eilish songs are amazing and this is coming from an old post punk / goth / wave guy.
Get Jreid on this show!!!! He is so talented!!!
