Fintan McKahey

Fintan McKahey is a lo-fi indie singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from Cork, Ireland. Known for his spacey, chill, and psychedelic sound, his EPs and singles have earned national radio play and critical acclaim. He has headlined major venues across the country, but his true passion lies in the studio, where he crafts immersive and atmospheric music.

In recent years, Fintan took a step back from the spotlight to embrace fatherhood, a transformative experience that reshaped his approach to both life and music. Navigating the delicate balance between parenthood and songwriting—finding inspiration in quiet moments and late-night studio sessions.
Having bought a rural property in West Cork- relocated ‘Ivy Hill Studios’ & built a house, he is making a highly anticipated return with new music set for release in 2025. His time away has deepened his artistry, bringing fresh perspectives to his songwriting and production.

Named ‘Hot for 2021’ and ‘Hot for 2022’ by Hot Press magazine, he performed in their
Y&E series. He also became on of the five finalists chosen to play a showcase gig in
Dublin for the nationwide competition Irish Music Month. As he steps back into the scene
from the creative space of Ivy Hill Studios, fans can expect the same hypnotic
soundscapes with an evolved heartfelt edge, marking the next chapter in his musical
journey.
