SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Finn Smith: a bass-wielding, genre-hopping powerhouse of Melbourne, Australia, and a guy who seemingly never met an instrument he couldn’t master. From the quiet hills of Woodend, where resources were scarce but ambition ran high, Finn turned musical self-sufficiency into an art form. Keyboard? Conquered. Bass? Dominated. Guitar, drums, production, graphic design? Tick, tick, tick. By the time he wrapped up high school, he was essentially a one-man record label with a knack for turning limitations into creative firepower.
In Melbourne’s music scene, Finn’s the go-to guy for precision, adaptability, and a dash of "how does he make it look so easy?" He’s played bass for everyone from Spürts to Amelia Alessi, and when he’s not on stage, he’s crafting sonic adventures in his home studio. Folk ballads, thrash metal, psychedelic funk—Finn’s catalog isn’t just a playlist; it’s a masterclass in “why pick one genre when you can own them all?”
With new releases brewing and live gigs on the horizon, Finn’s trajectory is clear: keep breaking molds, keep pushing boundaries, and keep making Melbourne (and beyond) groove to his beat. Whether you know him as the guy from that one or the bassist who nailed that impossible run, one thing’s for sure—Finn Smith isn’t just part of the scene; he’s redefining it. Perchance.
