  Exclusive Introduction to A Singer You Need to Know: Finn Ashtyn Q: Who is Finn Ashtyn? FA : "Finn Ashtyn is a singer/songwriter who became fed up with their current life. It really felt like it was either death or create a life for myself that I could live in. It felt like I was backed up against a wall. That’s what a lot of my songs are based off of."
