From Live Audiences to Bedroom Performances
Due to the stay-at-home order, Finlay is no longer able to perform at music gigs and DJ at special events. Despite this setback, he is using his free time to further his music production skills, by practicing drumming, playing the piano, and remixing music from his bedroom. This is the perfect time for Finlay to master his skills that he is already passionate about and immerse himself in the music-making process. Just a few days ago Finlay came out with another new remix! You can check it out here:
