Mike Finazzo

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I got my first guitar when I was 12, and quickly became obsessed with the 3 B’s: the Blues, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan. This, coupled with an undiagnosed anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder, made me quite the hit in 1997. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bob Dylan, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Eric Clapton, From the Cradle Tom Petty, Wildflowers These album were all foundational and very important to me (especially when I was young). Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Window Dressed to Kill” This is my wife's favorite song of mine. When I was younger, I decided to quit my job and moved to L.A. I said I would live there forever and made it... 13 days. I came back and wrote this song about it. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I stopped playing music for many years and got back into it during Covid. I fell in love with it again and it's been a blast since. The highlight though is anytime I play live and my wife and daughter come out. Seeing them dance is hard to beat. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I just want to keep going for as long as I'm passionate about it. Ideally, many people will listen.
