Bio

Liam Finn has bounded onto the international music scene with the force and presence of an artist twice his age. The twenty-three-year-old New Zealand native writes, produces and engineers his own music, adhering to a strict DIY creative process. In addition to meticulously overseeing the recording of his debut album I'LL BE LIGHTNING, Finn plays nearly every instrument on the album, a responsibility he doesn't relinquish during his now mythic live gigs.

Liam Finn: “He chops, blends, and twists his keyboards, guitars, electronics, and melodies into a shiny new beast that is both gentle and subtly feral.”—THE BOSTON GLOBE  Feb 13

Liam Finn: “Each one of these 14 tunes harbors handsome hooks that point to a childhood spent obsessing over Dad's Beatles and Beach Boys (and Crowded House) records. I’ll Be Lightning is a low key charmer.” BILLBOARD  Feb 13

Liam Finn: “The quintessential laptop record ... [with] sonic quirks [and] bustling beats that drive home compact rockers and chamber pop meant to kick you off your seat.” - NO DEPRESSION  Feb 13

Liam Finn: "Playing most of the instruments himself, Finn unfurls one gorgeous melody after another, from the cozy 'Gather to the Chapel' to the hypnotic title track, which could be an Abbey Road outtake. 4 stars" – PASTE MAGAZINE  Feb 13
