Singer, songwriter, musician, composer & producer Finneas O’Connell syncs up with Kyle to discuss his creative process, the OG Dune, growing up in an artistic LA household, taking WAWED to Coachella, Finneas’ foray into acting then music, what inspired his brilliant score for Beef season 2, Kyle’s keyboard work in The Doors, and which musicians & instruments impress Finneas. After riffing on why making music with his sister is so organically magical and the Fleetwood Mac-sized hole in the industry that Finneas & Ash are filling, Finneas absolutely dominates Kyle’s custom game called Cue the Dramatics!.
