Finn Anderson is a Scottish artist creating expansive musical worlds to contain intimate human stories. Blending the raw vulnerability of the singer-songwriter with the epic scope of dramatic storytelling, he explores folk, art-pop, electronic, and orchestral landscapes with a restless curiosity, finding beauty in both the mythic and the everyday.

Raised in a fishing village at the edge of the North Sea, Finn’s music is anchored in the mystery of Scotland’s landscapes. His sound is defined by a baritone voice that moves from intimate whisper to full-bodied roar, drawing comparisons to ANOHNI, Scott Walker and Sufjan Stevens. With Bogha-frois: Queer Voices in Folk, Finn is a prominent voice in a growing movement of artists who are reimagining Scottish tradition through a queer lens.

He has released two deeply personal albums, Until the Light and Into the Arms of Ghosts, playing internationally and opening for artists such as Patrick Wolf, Rachel Sermanni, Mick Flannery, Douglas Dare, Sam Lee, and The Magic Lantern. His songs have earned airplay on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Scotland.

Parallel to his solo career, Finn is the co-creator of acclaimed, genre-defying theatre productions including Islander and Ballad Lines, which have taken his music from rural Highland town halls to New York’s Off-Broadway and stages across the world. He is an Associate Artist at The Lowry, and was recently a writer on attachment at the National Theatre.
