Creative Beans // Fini Bearman
Hello, I’m Fini - a songwriter, jazz musician and Professor of Songwriting at the Guildhall School in London (UK). I write, release and tour my own music, and I work with songwriters to help them bring their songs to life with honesty, emotional clarity and musical nuance.
On my channel you’ll find deep-but-approachable explorations into harmony, melody and lyric writing, plus real-time ‘write with me’ sessions to spark ideas and get creativity moving again.
I also mentor artists 1:1 through my Creative Beans programme, offering bespoke support, accountability, technical clarity and encouragement to help you get your ideas off the page and onto the stage.
If you want your music to feel more nuanced, expressive and harmonically rich, you’re in the right place :)
