Aug. 22 (UPI) — Singer-songwriter Finneas took to the Citi Concert Series stage on Today Friday to perform and talk about his music.<\/p>\n

Finneas, 28, discussed his creative process<\/a> with Craig Melvin, Laura Jarrett and Dylan Dreyer.\n<\/p>\n

“I mean I’ve had such a privilege of working with artists like [sister] Billie [Eilish)] who have voices that I love so much, so if I ever play her a song that I’ve written and she goes, ‘I wanna take a swing at that,’ like, what an honor to hear something that you’ve written sung by somebody with such a beautiful instrument,” he said.<\/p>\n

Finneas said he performs the songs that are the most personal to him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“So this is a really personal album,” he shared. “There’s even a song about my relationship with my whole family on this record, where I’m like, no one else is gonna take this. It’s, you know, autobiographical.”<\/p>\n

He and music artist Ashe also started a band<\/a>, The Favors, and will release The Dream in September. <\/p>\n

His album For Cryin’ Out Loud! dropped in October.<\/p>\n
