FEMES aka. Elina Lin is a London-based Finnish-Taiwanese songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Born out of writing and recording sessions over the past few years, FEMES marks the first-time Lin has stepped out in a solo form - Taking songs that were crafted in her bedroom to be recorded and co-produced by a friend and collaborator Alex Lanyon in his studio. She released her debut EP 'A Shadow Of Dreams' in August 2022. Elina Lin grew up in Joensuu, a small town in Eastern Finland, where she would pick-up and study various instruments from a young age at the local conservatory. Becoming increasingly more interested in music through her teenage years, that interest would eventually draw her towards the UK music scene and in 2014 Elina made the move to Glasgow. A year later, she joined rising local band The Ninth Wave as a guitarist, co-vocalist and eventually co-writer until 2018. Later that year she based herself in London as she began touring with Sundara Karma as a keyboard player and backing vocalist, before joining up in the same role with Courteeners. Influenced by synth and electronic pop throughout multiple decades from 80s synth-pop and new wave, to 90s shoegaze as well as contemporary bands/artists such as Beach House and Weyes Blood, the sound of FEMES also draws film scores that takes the sound into a cinematic direction.
