He is self-taught, and now puts his talent into short film, game, documentary, and advertising projects which require a certain thing that only he can deliver.During his time in college, Finlay studied both music and visual media (film and TV). This means that he has a first-hand knowledge of both of these worlds, which allows him to creatively execute music to a brief effectively and successfully as well as understand the close relationship between visual and musical storytelling and immersion.Finlay has worked as a composer and audio engineer with companies such as Asteryx Studios, Generate UK and Royal Academy of Dance. He has also worked on films such as “Can We Fall in Love This Summer” directed by Jasmine Yates as well as many student films in his college years, including his own projects during his time studying visual media.Finlay has also released a collection of albums, and other personal work on Spotify and all other major streaming platforms which range in genres from ambient and avant-garde music to Nintendo-inspired synthpop and acoustic guitar improvisation. This showcases not just a motivation for film/game/tv composition but also as a performer and artist in his own right.
