Hey, I’m Finch.

27 years old, blood type O, Slovak Citizen and 1.72m Tall.

I’m a music producer, songwriter, mixing engineer, DJ, and playlist curator who helps independent musicians build careers that actually last.

But it wasn’t always like this.

How I got here

When I was 12, I downloaded a cracked version of FL Studio and fell in love with music production. I spent years creating songs, dreaming about performing at Tomorrowland, and believing that if I just made good music, people would listen.

Spoiler: they didn’t.

At 19, I released my first single with a zero budget. I posted it on Facebook and YouTube, hoping it would take off. It didn’t. No streams. No views. No one cared.

I tried again. And again. Same result.

I realized the hard truth - music alone wasn’t enough. If I didn’t learn marketing, I was doomed.

So I burned out. Got depressed. Questioned if music was even worth it.

Eventually, I decided to learn everything I could about marketing. I got a degree in communication and business, worked at a market research company (hated it), and then joined a music marketing company where I finally learned how to run ads, grow social media, and actually promote music.

That’s when things started to click.

I released music again, but this time with a real strategy. I ran Meta ads, built playlists, and saw tens of thousands of streams. I helped other artists do the same - one artist got 100k streams in 20 days, another built a playlist that generates over $4,000 a month.

And somewhere along the way, I realized something: I got more satisfaction helping other musicians than promoting my own music.

So that’s what I do now.

What I do today

I’ve reviewed over 25,000 songs for my playlists (I only approve about 20% of them). I’ve worked with 250+ musicians through my courses and programs. I’ve helped 2,500+ artists grow through my playlists and services.

I teach musicians how to:

→ Release music that actually gets heard

→ Build playlists that generate streams and income

→ Create sustainable careers without burning out

→ Get honest feedback before wasting money on promotion

I don’t sell shortcuts. I don’t promise overnight success. And I’ll never tell you to buy fake streams or followers.

I’ve been the struggling musician who spent weeks on a song only to have no one listen. I’ve made every mistake you can make - from getting scammed by fake playlists to running ads that didn’t work.

Everything I teach comes from real experience, not theory. If I recommend something, it’s because I’ve done it myself or seen it work for my students.

I’m not here to sell you on hype. I’m here to help you build something real.

A few things about me

→ I don’t think I’m talented enough to “make it” as a musician - but I know I’m good enough to help others do it

→ I’ve been posting content consistently for 3 years without a break, because I use the Seasons Strategy to avoid burnout

→ I care way too much about helping people, probably because I can’t stand seeing others suffer the way I did

If you’re tired of tutorials that don’t work, gurus who overpromise, and promotion that wastes your money - you’re in the right place.

Let’s make your music career happen 🙌
