“Five Minutes With” Folk-Rock/Pop duo, Fionn

Already known for their honest lyricism and captivating storytelling, Fionn are taking their soundscape in an even more diverse direction; encapsulating everything from sugary sweet sounds to moodier melodies, and their folk roots. While remaining true to themselves, Fionn’s current vibe embraces a more playful side — a direct result of the sisters’ experiences and mindset over the past year.

Noted as “undeniably seasoned” by Billboard early on in their career, Fionn’s constant evolutionary state has taken them to new heights, with music from their 2021 record Candid Constellations being described as “a fiercely catchy slice of pop” by American Songwriter. With over 1.5 million Spotify streams, the duo have impressed industry and press alike since their 2017 debut finding their names amongst tastemaker praise and included on some of the most sought-after editorial playlists across DSPs.
