Egotism

For proof that remarkable talent can flourish in the most unexpected places, look no further than Finn Askew. Hailing from a sleepy market town in Somerset, the 19-year-old singer-songwriter could scarcely be further removed from any sort of music scene, and yet he’s raising the bar for the rest of the industry with his soulful yet streetwise sound. Following his successful 2020 string of singles including ‘Old Love, ‘Peach’ and the undeniable ‘Roses’ - his debut single which shot him out of the gate and now sits on an incredible 9.2 million views - Finn has not only been growing in the UK, but after Taeyong from notorious KPOP group NCT shared Roses, saw him trend in Korea and pick up a dedicated following there that has propelled him globally and seen him establish himself on several Korean digital music charts. Tipped as a One To Watch for 2021 by The Line of Best Fit, the young Somerset artist's eclectic and varied range juxtaposes even the most melancholy lyrics with upbeat, heartwarming synths, guitar melodies and a enthusiasm, stretching way beyond Finn’s 19 years.
