Finn Forster
Hailing from the industrial town of Middlesbrough in the North East of England, Finn Forster is a pioneer of songs that come from places of real truth, deliver anthemic melodies and shine light on the trials and tribulations of his youth told through captivating vocals.
Fresh from a sold out UK tour in 2023, a top 5 single in the UK iTunes pop chart and winning the prestigious Drake YolanDa award, Finn was chosen as a BBC Introducing ‘One To Watch’ artist and his latest single ‘On My Mind’ was playlisted by Radio 2 on their New Music Playlist. The official video for On My Mind also received its national UK TV debut on Channel 4’s Sunday brunch.
Finn has supported the likes of Bastille, The Reytons and The Lottery Winners.
