Liam Finn

Liam Mullane Finn (born 24 September 1983) is a New Zealand singer and musician. Born in Melbourne, Australia, he moved to New Zealand as a child. He is the son of musicians Sharon (Johnson) and Neil Finn. In 2020, he joined his father's band, Crowded House.

His father, Neil Finn, wrote the song "Our Day" (on the 1983 Split Enz album Conflicting Emotions) about Liam prior to his birth.

Liam Finn married his long-term partner, Janina Percival, in June 2015. They have two sons.

Liam Finn co-founded and performed with the band Betchadupa from 1997 to 2006, who released several albums and EPs between 2000 and 2004.

He has a solo career as a multi-instrumentalist playing drums, keyboards and guitar and singing over loop tracks, composing songs on stage and on live streams.

Liam Finn also records and tours with Crowded House and as of 2024 both he and his brother Elroy Finn are members of the band along with their father Neil Finn, touring the UK, Ireland, Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealand.

In 2008 and 2009 Finn opened for Eddie Vedder's solo tour throughout America. Finn also headlined his first North American tour and headed out on the road with The Black Keys in November 2008 in the UK and Europe. At the Dutch Crossing Border Festival he met Yuri Landman and borrowed a drum guitar, which he used on stage in the Netherlands and Germany. Afterwards Landman invented a new instrument for him, a 24-string electric cymbalum called the Tafelberg, which he incorporated at his stage performances.

Finn played a series of solo concerts in Ireland in April 2008 with guest appearances from vocalist Eliza Jane Barnes, the daughter of Australian musician Jimmy Barnes.
