Fact 1: He Impressed Girlfriend Claudia Sulewski with Music

In 2018, at the tender age of 26, O'Connell discovered a special connection when he met his girlfriend, Claudia Sulewski, through a dating app. Waste no time, he immediately embarked on wooing her. In a stroke of creativity, he wrote a song called "Claudia" for her on the very same day they met.

The lyrics of "Claudia" express his captivation: "Oh, I'm in trouble now / Come kiss me black and blue. / Might last another round / But I'm bound to fall for you." These heartfelt words became a testimony to their budding relationship. Claudia Sulewski, besides being an actress, is also a notable figure in the world of social media and previously hosted Teen Vogue's YouTube channel.

Fact 2: Coloring and Tasting Music Runs in the Family

Both siblings, Finneas O'Connell and Billie Eilish, possess synesthesia, a condition that blends sensory experiences like associating colors with sounds or linking tastes to specific songs. As an example, Finneas described how the song "Let's Fall in Love for the Night" evokes the sensation of an autumn leaf's orange hue for him. Although he considers synesthesia more of a disruption than a superpower, he utilizes this unusual sensory connection as a catalyst for his creative process.

Fact 3: More Than Just Music: He's an Actor Too!

In addition to making waves as a singer and producer, Finneas O'Connell dabbles in acting as well. Audiences may recognize him for his recurring role as Alistair, the ukulele-playing love interest of Spencer, in the final season of the hit TV show Glee. Beyond Glee, his acting credits include a student role in the 2011 comedy Bad Teacher and guest appearances on shows such as Modern Family and Aquarius.
