Part of Melbourne’s bubbling music scene, Finn Rees is a true creative at heart. An expert keys player, beatmaker, composer, designer and photographer, he has a knack for capturing emotions and intriguing minds, whatever medium he chooses. Born and raised in Tasmania his passion for music naturally drew him to one of the Australian epicentres of music, namely Melbourne/Naarm.
A tight-knit scene of friends, ideas and inspirations, it was a move that led to Finn becoming one of the core members of neo-soul-jazz collective 30/70. From there he has seemingly put his hand to an extraordinary amount of projects, playing keys for Allysha Joy, forming the electronic duo Close Counters and joining the artists such as Audrey Powne and Dreamcast Moe on stage. It's a passion and drive that Finn exudes in abundance, regardless of format or arrangement. Bringing together experiences soaking up scenes in the likes of the UK, Europe and the USA, alongside channelling the musical melting pot that Melbourne offers, has been a key catalyst for Finn writing his debut album, Dawn Is A Melody on Mr Bongo.
