Michael Finley is the name of an NBA player but the boys are not into basket particularly, the choice, they explained, is more to do with the musical quality of the name itself.
While Ka and Dany used to play rock in a cellar in Legnano, in the suburbs of Milan, Ste and Pedro played in a grunge band. They all met in 2000 at the Accademia della Musica and decided to play together.
Finley (all born in 1985) started off like any other band: practice session, some competitions, supporting other bands, music festivals, they took any opportunity to play in public. With practice and an increasing number of public performances, their sound becomes distinctive and was labelled "hard pop" to fit their music, which is a mixture of energy and voice, intertwined in an original and peculiar way.
While they were still all at University, the boys decided to record a demo version of "Make up your mind", and start the usual tour of independent and major record companies. With the help of a friend and movie director, Marco Lamanna, they also filmed a video. Many demos were sent but… unfortunately no answer came.
In 2005, Claudio Cecchetto saw their video in a recording studio, call them up and Finley signed their first Recording Contract. They recorded "Tutto e' possibile", which is the Italian version of "Make up your mind", their debut single on Capitol/EMI.
The video for "Tutto e' possibile" was directed by Gaetano Morbioli and the single climbed the official Italian charts while the video became a permanent feature of the video chart program "TRL Top Ten" on MTV. Last February Finley started their nation-wide Italian tour.
On 31st May 2006, the album "TUTTO E' POSSIBILE" was released on Capitol/EMI, with a track-list made up of songs in Italian and English. In July, Finley released the "Special Edition", including the song "Dentro la Scatola" featuring Mondo Marcio. The album reached top ten in the Italian official charts.
All the songs on the album were written by the band and Daniele Persoglio, who is considered by the boys the "fifth member" and is responsible for the Music Production. Executive Production is in the hands of Claudio Cecchetto and Pier Paolo Peroni.
Finley are pure musical energy. Listening is believing.
