Finn Mertins-Kirkwood

Hi there - I'm Finn, an experienced composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist with a passion for music and all things audio. I work with filmmakers and game developers to create original soundtracks, content creators and
streamers to create jingles, loops, and theme songs, and corporate and private clients to fulfill their various
audio needs. I am a self-starter with initiative who is talented, resourceful, and always eagerly looking
forward to the next project.
