Finneas has revealed his dream collaborator is Rihanna.

Speaking at the 2026 Tribeca Festival during a conversation with composer Anthony Willis, the songwriter and producer - who plays a key role in the career of his pop megastar sister Billie Eilish - said he would jump at the chance to work with the Diamonds hitmaker, but his shyness means he’d never actually ask her.

He said: "I'm taking notes from the distance so I can just keep doing that also."

Finneas also revealed that it was seeing pop punk legends Green Day as a kid that made him want to become a musician.

He said: "I really have always wanted to make music for a living.

"I think I knew that from the time I was like 10 or 11 and I went and saw Green Day play a concert and I thought, 'I can't believe that's a job. I want to do that job.'"
