Fink

Fink，出生于英国布里斯托，又名Fin Greenall，可能是当今最为低调的歌手/歌曲作者之一，以令人惊叹的现场演出而著称，其现场演奏与贝斯手Guy Whittaker、鼓手Tim Thornton合作 ，在最近三年里，Fink的现场演出超过了300次，并担任过Zero 7 及Massive Attack的表演嘉宾。演出之外，Fink还为John Legend和 Amy Winehouse等音乐人创作歌曲，并作为优秀的混音师，为Elbow, Nina Simone, Ryuichi Sakamoto, 和Robert Belfour等音乐人的作品提供混音制作。而在此之前，与Roni Size, Portishead,和Massive Attack在同一个城市成长的Fink，曾作为一个Ninja Tune 的DJ，在全世界的酒吧里播放trip-hop和breaks。
2006年Fink成为英国著名独立唱片厂牌Ninja Tune旗下签约的首位歌手/歌曲作者，并发行首张唱片《Biscuits For Breakfast 》。iDJ杂志说道：“如果’Blue Lines’是关于X一代关于house派对，hip-hop和嗑药的经历，那么这张专辑就是千禧年的对应物。”
2007年发行的Distance And Time，是一张令Fink的乐迷遍布全球广受好评的唱片。作为一个优秀的歌手和吉他弹奏者，他的影响力持续扩大。BBC音乐会的伦敦皇家阿尔伯特大厅，在纽约著名的卡内基大厅（他就在歌曲的创作者面前表演REM的‘The Apologist’），甚至是米兰能容纳八万人的圣西罗球场，都有他演出的身影。正是Distance And Time 吸引了John Legend的注意力，邀请Fink和他一起创作了与Andre 3000 合唱的‘Green Light’和‘Set Me Free’，收录在Legend的Evolver LP中。作为回报，John Legend为Fink的第三张专辑Sort Of A Revolution弹奏钢琴，并合写了两首歌曲。
如前所述，Fink是MicroMu一直欣赏并喜欢的音乐人，经过和他的唱片公司 Ninja Tune的接触之后，Ninja Tune方面也很欣赏MicroMu的运营模式。于是，Fink 即将成为第一位在不插店发行EP的外国音乐人,并且将于11月到北京和上海举行两场专场演出。
2009年Ninja Tune唱片发行了Fink第三张标准长度唱片，“Sort Of Revolution”。
2009年10月, Fink将在不插店推出最新EP。

Fink is the recording moniker of Finian Greenhall, who has made the unlikely musical journey from being an ambient techno trip-hop artist to a serious singer/songwriter in less than a decade. Born in Bristol, England, Greenhall was obsessed with guitar as a teenager, eagerly exploring the indie scene. Then he discovered raving, and the guitars went out the window as he immersed himself completely in ambient techno. Greenhall recorded an album of techno beats with Lee Jones (aka Hefner) that was eventually released under the name EVA by Kickin? Records in 1995. The record attracted the attention of Ninja Tune Records, which signed Greenhall as a trip-hop artist. Billing himself as Fink, Greenhall released a pair of EPs, 1997's Finkfunk and 1998's Front Side Blunt Side, on Ninja Tune's Ntune imprint, then delivered the full-length Fresh Produce in 2000. But Fink was undergoing a sea change, and had picked up the guitar again. By the time the folky and acoustic-based Biscuits for Breakfast was released (again on the Ntune label) in 2006, Fink had completed the transformation from electronica artist into a full-fledged singer/songwriter, a move that initially baffled his fan base.
