Finn was born and raised in Germany. As a child of an Irish jazz and folk musician Finn grew up outside the mainstream social canon, and the subculture around skateboarding was an early influence – and was mixed at the age of 16 with enthusiasm for electronic music, records and deejaying.
Finn says: “My career so far is more like a rainbow than a red line, for which I am more than grateful. It was the only way I could become who I am today and develop my strengths and talents. Now I have reached a point where I want to expand and develop this further in order to really blossom in my professional career. I want to shape the future of the XR industry and revolutionise the media landscape. I am a very open and curious person and I love social interaction.”
