Musicians
Typically, over 50% of our productions feature bespoke original compositions written and recorded by Fin Tune artistes Danny St Fin or Mike Payne. Once briefed, they are always happy to produce demos for client choice in pre-production. As with almost all aspects of the Fin offer, keeping this service in house massively reduces costs to our clients, while boosting creative quality and originality.
Michael Payne
Mike’s background is as a sonic, Edge-influenced guitarist in indie-rock bands, including acclaimed cult pop combo Third Light. He has developed into producing and engineering, while his oeuvre has expanded into epic orchestral and dark Western film scores. Demand for Payne’s talents has exploded in 2012 –his tracks lead major TV campaigns for Thierry Mugler’s Womanity perfume, Flora Pro.Activ and Magnum Minis.
Danny St Fin
Dan started out young – becoming drummer in the hugely respected National Youth Jazz Orchestra. A natural musician, he quickly became a multi-instrumentalist, specializing in jazz, ambient, Rn’B and soul. His prolific output includes commercials for Calgon, i-Smart and South African Airways. In 2011, St Fin’s haunting composition ‘The End Of Never’ was specially commissioned by Aston Martin as the music to launch their £1.2m limited edition super car, the One-77. Here’s how ‘The Sun’ described the impact of Danny’s track: www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/motors/ken_gibson/3247899/Is-this-the-most-desirable-car-on-the-planet.html.
