Finneas O’Connell Full Interview

Описание

Oscar and Grammy-winning songwriter and composer Finneas O’Connell breaks down his journey into film composing and working with Oscar winning director Alfonso Cuarón on hit miniseries Disclaimer. Finneas dives into his work with Billie Eilish and how it led to meeting Cuarón, frightening first steps and self doubt of getting started (Vengeance and Fallout) and how his album "For Cryin’ Out Loud" came together so fast with “jam session” model of musical collaborators.

Plus, backstory of submitting 007 James Bond theme song for "No Time To Die" and how he eventually found out that he and Billie Eilish got gig and began working with Hans Zimmer. And why he is eager to collaborate with Rihanna and band Cake. Finneas’ most memorable experience performing on tour with Billie Eilish (post-hurricane in Mexico City without any access to power) and how Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ Social Network opened his eyes to what scoring could be.
