This is the most in depth answer I've ever heard him give as to how Ocean Eyes happened and it really is just one of those things. There is no such things as luck. Simply preparation meets opportunity. 💙😌🙌🙏
Finneas is a seriously talented producer, and I love how he doesn't try to upstage Billie's own talents by stamping his 'sound' on her. Like he says here, he puts her front center as the artist while he lays back and does his part in the shadows. The result is a symbiotic collaboration between artist & producer where creativity explodes (think Beatles, George Martin). I always learn something new in every Finneas interview, especially like this where you let him talk at length without interruptions so he can take us through the whole process. Thanks for this!
Finneas and Billie created a magical masterpiece of a song that totally slaps and Finneas says “yeah we really lucked out”. He’s such a humble, down to earth human. Finneas: your fans are the ones who really lucked out. We appreciate you giving up your anonymity and sharing your hard work and talent with the world.
Let’s be honest, there’s always some amount of luck when it comes to becoming successful in life. Absolutely they are incredibly talented musicians and creators who work very hard, but the right person heard their song at the right time. I can’t remember the quote exactly, but in Mike Schur’s book “How to be Perfec” he talks about how Michael Jordan wouldn’t be a famous basketball player if he had been born in the 1800s or if he were born shorter. There’s always luck involved, and I really appreciate when celebrities or rich people are humble enough to recognize that.
yeah fr that’s a good big brother & feminist who doesn’t rag on his lil sis but uplifts & credits her. grateful he’s her bro, the wrong ppl coulda rly damaged her
Finneas🙌🏼💚 awesome job. The way this all played out is so perfect. It’s the stuff like this that makes me believe a beautiful world does and can exist.
Great interview, have really good Insights into their early days in their music carear. Especially Finneas making a reference to @Sylvanesso was great to me as I also like their stuff
Such a beautiful song! You r both so beautiful together! I listen to your music everyday I hope you make a FORTUNE! I lived in LA twice! It's very expensive 😫! Even some homes in Beverly hills are NOT nice but expensive! Great interview. I remember the first time I seen Billie on UA-cam I told my best friend SHE is going to be HUGE OMFG. PLUS ... she is flawless. I owned a Hairsalon for many years I couldn't get over how beautiful Billie is! Your bro is pretty too!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Finneas is totally wanting to just 'Wizard of Oz' music lol. Like be the dude behind the curtain and let the personification of Music be the big glowing face that everyone else thinks is omnipotent, powerful and magical. Yet ultimately, it's all bits and pieces put together and in the end.... it's just a matter of each person finding their own strengths through the journey.
Loved hearing the backstory but the way he KEPT saying "my stupid band-" like CMON BRO have some respect for your former bandmates damn they were there too 😂
asking finneas this question after hes answered this question in like every interview he's done is crazy( don't get me wrong its a great story but i feel like some of theses interviewers don't research a whole lot
Idk. I want to believe this, but I just can’t get past the fact that their parents were so well connected in the music industry their entire lives… It sounds like this story COULD be true tho. I’m not buying it tho

💙😌🙌🙏
I love that he just knew who HE was and was passionate to make it happen ❤❤
I admire his ability to seemingly answer his same question for the first time…. But for the 10,000 time
Me too....And can you imagine all the even dumber questions he must get globally ? I'd go crazy!
Such a dope brother sister duo.
Yes - literally 🙄
Incest 😂

Once you begin to create art you'll notice it's not "you" who creates it.
It often feels like luck.

amazing. 'i was not trying to be front-facing with that." just amazing.
I love the réponse of fineas. He so humble and pure heart to level up and manage Billie .

That video where he talks about the random sfx for Bad Guy ❤❤❤ so genius
Good analogy

It’s off putting how narcissistic and insecure he sounds. Big fan of his music, but this was hard to watch.
Finneas is ALSO AMAZING! I LOVE u both! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Keep making great hits!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Dude wtf why can't you just make a good thumbnail
Is his band called “my stupid band” or is he actually saying that lmao
The Slightlys
Idk. I want to believe this, but I just can’t get past the fact that their parents were so well connected in the music industry their entire lives…
It sounds like this story COULD be true tho. I’m not buying it tho
Inspo

comme c'est trop drôle mdrrr
White dude for Harris. 😂😂
Law he should stop stealing marilia adamaki,she took action
A modern day Richard & Karen Carpenter story... Except the Carpenters were 10 times bigger and more successful with more timeless music.
Karen Carpenter was an amazing artist, but Billie is one of the three biggest global pop icons right now. And only time will tell what is "timeless."
