Биография

Raising Ravens was conceived by powerhouse Australian singer/guitarist Jess Finlayson in 2020 and grew into a musical nebula over the following years of mayhem and chaos. Kicking off with debut single ‘Careful What You Wish For’, Raising Ravens has continued to grow in intensity with multiple singles and film clips, plus an EP, and continued to grow in intensity with the 3rd single ‘It’s A Trap’ hitting Number 1 in the AMRAP Metro Airplay Charts and staying in the Top 10 for 4 consecutive weeks, along with being added to playlists around the world including USA, UK, Canada, Egypt & Brazil. Raising Ravens debut full-length album ‘Leaving With The Halflight’ (out 31 March 2023) was recorded over a 3-year period of time, dodging lockdowns and all manner of storms, embracing the ambiguous nature of the dark and light aspects of life and rock and roll. Including contributions from some of Jess’s favourite musical comrades, Raising Ravens has become more of a collective than one singular entity and continues to evolve. Starting out as the lead guitarist for legendary female hard-rock renegades Nitocris (1992- 2001), followed by the infamous Fyreflyes, Jess Finlayson has been touring nationally and internationally, writing and recording since the age of 15. More recently being the founding member, lead singer/guitarist for The Mis-Made who are currently on hiatus, the focus has been on recording a Raising Ravens full-length album.
