𓏲 * ( paul mescal, questioning, he/they, noah kahan cc ) ⸺ pictures of FINN ABEL RIGGS have been showing up all over my feed, and considering the last time they were #trending, it was due to celebrating six-months of sobriety on his socials — i'm not likely to unfollow anytime soon. with their sheepskin jacket that they've owned for many years, distressed jeans and earth-toned flannel shirts, i'm not surprised to hear that they are considered part of the NOUVEAU RICHES. after 27 years, they've managed to garner a reputation for being more welcoming than faithless, but their critics say that they're more self-indulgent than witty when they aren't too busy focusing on their guitar collection ( constantly growing ) ; reading through reviews and fan messages for a pick-me-up ; riding on public transport just to feel a sense of normalcy. when they aren't occupied with their work as a singer / songwriter, they've been sighted hiking. reputation.com has taken to calling them FOLK PRINCE in order to avoid a lawsuit ( again ). ──

BIOGRAPHY.
finn abel riggs grew up in the small town of meredith , new hampshire . everyone knew everyone and that was the way his family liked it . his parents liked the slower life , the suburbia that came with a place surrounded by trees and between two lakes . he grew up with one older brother , jack , only just over a year apart – best friends . they spent their free afternoons cycling to the lake to watch their dad work on the boats , racing each other behind his pick-up on the way home .
this continued for most of finn's childhood . however , when finn was 13 , his brother jack was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer . from that moment on , all priorities had shifted . his mother doreen quit her job at the local post office while his father picked up more shifts . they were constantly driving between hospitals for jack's treatments and whenever finn could , he came along . his grades started slipping , but there were more important things to worry about . there were constant ups and downs , but eventually , two years after being diagnosed , jack passed .
losing his best friend and only sibling , finn found himself lost . he stopped socialising and did not speak for two months . for that next christmas , he was gifted a guitar by his parents , as well as a set of five lessons to get him started . he poured his heart and soul into that guitar . having the guitar as a proxy between him and the outside world , it became easier to open up . he started writing songs and made new friends . rather than watch his father work at the lake , he now found himself sitting around campfires with bottles of liquor stolen from their parents' liquor cabinets , making music .
this continued until he , flying by the seat of his pants , graduated high school . he'd been promoting his music a bit and been playing at weddings and small parties . a small amount of money saved up , he packed a bag , his guitar and left for new york city . he couchsurfed between gigs , spending all the money he had on booze . plenty of nights he found himself out on the street , curled up under a bush in central park hoping to be left alone , absolutely hammered .
he wrote music with other artists , working together on music , but nothing really came from it. he had a small cult following . a year and a half ago , he was busking in the subway when he was approached by a talent agent . for a few weeks , he got himself together to save enough money to record a demo , which was them picked up for an ep . the ep did alright , just hitting threshold to record an album . the album went viral . everyone wanted a piece of him and he decided to put down the bottle , checking himself into rehab with his advance and the help of his manager . his us tour started immediately after rehab and it was a hit .
he recently found a new place to live and celebrated 6 months of sobriety .
