Fink

In the organizer's words:

Fin Greenall is an enthusiast. More than you would expect from someone who has already released more than ten albums. He's had a lifetime and a half of hard work and hard gigs in electronic, acoustic and even pop music - his enthusiasm bubbles like someone half his age discovering the exhilaration of musical and cultural engagement for the first time.

In the mid-90s, London was an "exciting place", the music industry was on the rise, and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands. By day he worked in public relations for a major label, by night he DJ'd, hit the clubs and met up with the Ninja Tune crew. Records followed and all the while Fin was DJing internationally, moonlighting and generally enjoying "the clothes, the music, going out every night and everything else you want when you're in your 20s". But it turned out that this was not to last. "I was burning the candle at both ends," he says.

His way out was the songs. As a hot beatmaker, he was asked to produce up-and-coming singers, including the then-unknown teenage Amy Winehouse. Instead of just providing backing tracks, he co-wrote with her, and as with production, a new world opened up to him: songwriting wasn't a "dark art" either - it was a skill you could learn like any other.

So he gave it all up, and with savings and tiny gigs, the 2006 album Biscuits for Breakfast slowly emerged in his attic with three microphones and no budget. From there it was step by step, bit by bit, gigs and hustle, and Fink became a fixture on the indie scene with a worldwide fan base whose loyalty is unparalleled.
