history

The four musicians gained their first musical experience in rock bands. Ka and Dani played in the basements of the Milan suburb of Legnano , Stefano and Pedro were members of a grunge band . In 2000 they met at the Accademia Della Musica in Milan and decided to play together.

In the first few years after the founding, Finley hired himself out with appearances at music competitions, as a support act for other bands and at smaller music festivals. The first recording was made under the title Make Up Your Own Mind , for which the four also shot their own video. However, the record companies initially showed no interest. It wasn't until 2005 that the Italian DJ and music producer Claudio Cecchetto saw the video and immediately signed the band. Her single was re-recorded in Italian and immediately reached the top of the Italian charts. Tutto è possibile was briefly one of the most played videos on MTV Italia . On the wave of popularity, Finley went on a nationwide tour in February 2006. In May 2006 the band released their debut album, which reached the top ten of the Italian album charts. On June 3, 2007 the band performed at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park in Germany.
