In a world where music often feels like it was manufactured for a machine, I’ve chosen to go the other way.
When I started Finnegan’s Way, I had a simple goal: to create independent music for creators who wanted high-quality, professional audio that still feels… real. After decades of studying, performing, and creating music, I found myself frustrated by the state of modern stock audio—it often felt like background noise, designed to fill space rather than tell a story.
The "Finnegans Way" difference is all about intentionality.
Whether I’m at the piano or working with my hangdrum, I am searching for those small, tactile details—the organic pluck of a string, the metallic resonance of the metal, the quiet hum of a room. I believe these aren't imperfections; they are the things that make music human.
I built this little corner of the internet for three reasons:
- Direct Access for Creators and Listeners Alike. I built this corner of the internet for two distinct groups: for the creators who need beautiful, professionally crafted audio for their projects without the nightmare of copyright strikes, and for the listeners who have been looking for a way to support my music directly. By moving away from streaming, I’m creating a space where my music can be enjoyed as a full, immersive experience—whether it’s providing the atmosphere for your next video project or simply being the soundtrack to your morning coffee.
- To build a life that allows me to travel Australia full-time in a high-top van with my two little companions, Finn and Elly.
- A Stand Against the "Streaming Era."After years of seeing the value of music reduced to fractions of a cent per stream, I’ve decided to walk away from that broken system. I’m over the idea that meaningful art should be treated like a disposable commodity. By selling my music directly to you here, I’m cutting out the middleman and keeping the connection between the artist and the creator human. When you purchase a track here, you are choosing a fair, sustainable model that actually respects the work that went into every note.
When you buy a track from me, you’re not just downloading a file. You’re supporting real artistry, you’re choosing music made with intention and care, and you’re helping an independent artist build a life on the open road.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
