Samuel Finn Valler Askew (born May 21, 2001) is a British musician from Wellington in south-west England.[2]

Finn cites U.S. hip-hop acts such as Juice WRLD and Lil Peep as music influences of his sound[3] though he fell in love with music after uncovering his parents' CDs, a mixture of Nirvana, the Smiths, and the Beach Boys.[4] Finn's music is described as an "indie sound, washed one moment in a rosy hue of pop and the next polished to a high, RnB sheen."[5]

Career

Finn Askew's debut single "Roses" was created and recorded when he was 16.[6] He got the beat from YouTube and used GarageBand and his £20 microphone to create it. "Roses" featured in a live stream on V Live from Taeyong (member of K-pop band NCT).[7] As a result the track was included in the Spotify viral charts in a number of southeast Asian countries and has over 12 million streams on Spotify alone.

Finn released his debut EP Peach which combines lo-fi hip-hop, piano jazz and indie rock in January 2021.[8] [9]

Finn Askew was listed as one of Vevo Dscvr's Artists To Watch for 2021.[10]
