Finch

Nils Wehowsky (born 13 April 1990), better known by his stage name Finch, formerly Finch Asozial (stylized as FiNCH and FiNCH ASOZiAL), is a German rapper, Twitch streamer, YouTuber and battle rapper.

Early life and education Wehowsky was born in Frankfurt (Oder), East Germany, on 13 April 1990 and grew up in the nearby town of Fürstenwalde. He did an apprenticeship in mechanics and worked for five years in the private sector, after which he studied electrical engineering. He moved to work in the Lichtenberg borough of Berlin in 2013.

Career Wehowsky first came to prominence on the German battle rap show Rap am Mittwoch. He began regularly uploading his songs to his Youtube channel in 2014 and released his debut single Ostdeutscher Hasselhoff in August 2016. This was followed in August 2018 by his EP Fliesentisch Romantik. In July 2018, he took part in a battle rap with rapper Clep on the TopTierTakeover YouTube channel. Their video gained over a million views. He released his single Departure in December 2018 and within two weeks it had reached number 63 on the German single charts. This was his first song to enter the charts and its music video has over 20 million views on Youtube. His first studio album Dorfdisko was released on 8 March 2019 and quickly reached number 2 on the German album charts.

In May 2021 he announced, via his Instagram profile, that he would henceforth only perform under the stage name of Finch (having previously performed as Finch Asozial). He had already renamed all of his social media channels accordingly and released his April 2021 single Keine bösen Wörter under the Finch stage name. The reason he gave for the change was that he didn't want "people to prejudice my music - without knowing me, without ever having heard my music". His third album Rummelbums was released on 17 February 2022. The album reached number one in the German album charts.
