Details:
Being a multi-instrumentalist and composer from he was very young, Singer/Songwriter/Musician Finn Arild has now fully ventured into a music career. His debut album Serendipity is a pop/rock album with progressive roots

Finn Arild was born a summer morning in February in Takapuna, New Zealand. Soon after, his family moved back to Norway.

Back in Fetsund, he grew up with his elder sibling's music of the 70s, but also with his father's love for classical music.

When Finn Arild was six he learned to play guitar and had four years of classical training from he was seven years old. In that same period he learned to play the living room organ. Finn Arild soon met other friends with music interests and through the years he played with several local bands.

Finn Arild learned early on to use computers and music together. Even some of the themes resurfacing now was first recorded onto an old (then new) Amiga 500 with a Yamaha DX7 and a home made MIDI interface. However, this interest of computers lead him to another path than music.

Although his main career so far has been with information technology, graphic design and marketing, Finn Arild has participated in several music projects and radio commercials and have never stopped making music. His writing covers many styles, from classical via folk, pop and rock to hardcore progressive. Now some of these ideas have been put together to form his debut album Serendipity - a rock album with progressive undertones.

Finn Arild sings, plays acoustic, classical and electric guitars, bass guitar, keyboards and programs drums on his music. He has also co-produced Serendipity with Tor Øyvind Quille.
