Hi, I’m Finnlay Key, a musician and guitarist currently on a BA Honours Music Performance course at Nottingham Trent University. I play guitar in a band and I’m a multi-instrumentalist who loves exploring new sounds and collaborating with other artists. I’ve been working in bars since I was 15, starting as a waiter and bartender, which taught me to stay calm under pressure and deliver great customer service in fast-paced environments. I’m also volunteering as a Support Worker at Rhubarb Farm CIC, helping adults with support needs in a therapeutic horticulture setting. When I’m not gigging or studying, I enjoy bringing energy and creativity to every team I’m part of.
