FONN

FONN, consisting of Fionn, Charlie, “CC”, Sam and Tommy, is an eclectic London-based band (not to be confused with the Norwegian construction company). Things all started with Fionn, who has been writing his own songs for years but always dreamt of forming a band. The band name comes from how he generally introduces himself to people -“It’s Finn with an ‘O’”. Finn with an O thus became FONN during the pandemic, when the band as we know it now came together.


With their biggest influences being The Japanese House, Phoebe Bridgers and Bon Iver, their music could be described as Alternative Indie, Electro Folk. They find their inspiration from different eras in music: they take the dreaminess of ‘60s and ‘80s pop, add some of the grit from the ‘70s prog rock scene, borrow a bit of grunge from the ‘90s and round it all off with the classic indie vibes from the 2000s.


Important themes in Fionn’s writing are centred around mental health, coming out of depression, philosophy and existentialism. This is then translated into a dynamic but balanced sound, with astounding harmonies and production techniques inspired by the likes of BJ Burton, James Blake and FINNEAS.


The band has already received support from BBC Introducing, they had a premiere in Exeter Cathedral in 2021 and they have multiple headliner shows in London under their belt. With brand new material on its way, this group of self-proclaimed “music nerds” is one you definitely want to see live.
