[@troublesomesheep]

Producers in general don't get enough credit imo. You can have the best recording gear in the world, but it almost doesn't matter if your producer doesn't know what they're doing. On the flipside, average quality recording gear can sound amazing with a proper mix!

[@gmzanatta]

Proof that expensive gear doesn't mean a thing when it comes to someone who's passionate about their craft.

[@gmzanatta]

It's all relative. What I meant is that what they have is by no means unattainable to most regular people and most of it can be found in typical music stores. It's not like we're talking recording a Dumble with a U67 through a Neve desk. Plenty of bands have done that and not sounded half as well put together as this.

[@knowhere60]

@I am a ELFfishHoneyCloudMeigeniToppKlass Her parents are typical actors, meaning unemployed most of the time, with short acting jobs, voice overs, additional voice recording, etc. Only a tiny fraction of actors can support themselves through acting alone. Her father worked as a handymam and construction worker, while her mother also got paid for hosting home schooling crafts meetings at home and giving lessons in songwriting, trapeze, improv, etc. Not poor, but not with much spare cash. They live in a low-income and crime-prone part of North-East LA, all they could afford, a tiny 12,000 square ft. Bungalow-style 2 bedroom house. Billie had to work in a stable during the summers to afford horse-riding classes.

[@strawwberryyy]

@@knowhere60 exactly. only like 1% of actors work in hollywood. sure, they live in LA, but that doesn't make it any easier to get those roles. most actors around the world work in theaters of varying sizes, and even having a contract in one is lucky. the competition is so tough and I don't think many people realize what it takes to actually support yourself as an actor.

[@mgr131]

People don't usually acknowledge the privilege that is for an artist to be born in LA, so it's really cool that he mentions it

[@Broxine]

From: MGR why is it a privilege to be born in LA?

[@longjohn2404]

Broxine LA has the most street corners of any state in California implemented into its infrastructure. Therefore, there are many more spaces and opportunities for artists to play in street corners and out in public. By doing so, record label producers usually wander around LA and observe these folk one by one handing out record labels to those they like. That’s how Billie and Finneas were noticed. To this day, every street corner in LA has a different act/performance.

Finneas has his place at the table. Everyone that has followed Billie's career knows of Finneas' role. It was NOT a secondary role by any means. Billie and Finneas are collaborative artists bringing different elements to the mix, a mix that garnered Billie the initial adulation/stardom if you will. And now Finneas is getting the attention warranted by his talents, his abilities as a producer, the singer of harmonies to Billies' songs, the guitarist and keyboardist on stage with her. What a pair. What a gifted pair of young artists/performers. Maggie Baird and Patrick O'Connell - their parents - are to be commended for nurturing such talents, such gifts in the children. Bravo!

I don’t get why people keep bringing up Billie’s financial status and how her parents bought her into fame. Clearly from this video they weren’t living the glamours LA life as some people pin point it out as. Yeah her parents were actors, but they weren’t successful enough to make it into mainstream which is what people forget. There is a thing called working actors who aren’t living lush, extravagant lives.

[@VeriStrawberi]

Becky T Finneas has acted in some legit stuff. They have connections most musicians do not. That doesn’t matter too much anyway though. Connections only get you in the door. Gotta make great songs to last.

[@blossomblosh9992]

Finneas himself has worked hard and got himself opportunities on some pretty big projects such as glee, bad teacher etc. The parents however haven’t been in anything too notable. Which isn’t a bad thing, I mean they still could support their kids. I think people hear Billie talking about her spending at 13/14 and forget she was making music then. Or that she’s from LA and automatically assume she has connections. I mean maybe she does but at this point both her and her brothers talent stands for itself to me.

Don't wanna blame Billie, but as a vocalist, you can record vocals at a studio in 15 minutes, only because you got the voice. But as a producer, there is such an effort and time flowing in the creative process of building a song... Finneas is really talented and the fact that they record in their bedroom makes it really tangible that you can have success without stepping out of your comfort zone, without getting too professional. I really like that...

I can relate to growing up in a small home and not really having anything fancy but also not needing anything fancy because you feel loved and inspired in every aspect of your life. It’s all attributed to the parents and how they’ve raised them. They encouraged their children to be free and creative without judgement. And how they let their kids have the bedrooms while they slept in the living room is such a deep and sincere act of love. You truly don’t need to be surrounded by materialistic things in order to feel so happy and loved. In fact I think more people that aren’t raised wealthy and being use to getting what they want, grow up to be more happy and fulfilled with their life. As banal as this is going to sound, when you don’t grow up rich, you get to experience appreciate more of the little things in life and that is undoubtedly what matters most. Finneas and his family are so beautiful. This was incredibly inspirational.
