At the age of 21, Finnigan is one of the youngest on-air personalities in the Clear Channel Communications network. Originally from Benton, Illinois, Finnigan got his start in radio at the age of 13 job shadowing at WQRL-FM. At 5:00 AM before school, he would ride his electric scooter to the radio station to work as co-host and production assistant for the local morning show. Three years later, he landed the job of night show host at WCIL-FM in Carbondale, IL and worked both there and at WQRL-FM during his junior and senior year of high school. His exceptional performance during these high school years led to a midday personality position while attending Rend Lake College on a piano scholarship. At 19, Finnigan took a giant leap to KSLZ-FM in St. Louis, Missouri as an on-air personality and conducted red carpet interviews with various stars including Miley Cyrus and Will Smith. While there, he proved himself an invaluable asset and gained extensive knowledge and experience in all phases of radio operations. While in St. Louis, he also appeared as a recurring celebrity judge on the TV shows “Harrahs Lucky Break” in 2008 and “The Next I-Bar Star” in 2009 at Harrahs Casino. Following his exceptional stint in St. Louis, Finnigan moved to the windy city and became a part of the WKSC-FM on-air family in Chicago. He continues his Business Communications degree at Columbia College in Chicago.
In 2001, he founded Finnigan Productions, a full service production company providing audio, lighting, staging and video services. Since 2004, Finnigan Productions has been involved with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), a charity that supports children who grow up in abusive households. They hold an annual celebrity lip-syncing gala in Benton, IL to raise money for their charity. Finnigan produces the entire event and spends over 150 volunteer hours providing the audio, lighting, staging, set design and music arrangement to help make a difference in the lives of abused and neglected children. The 2010 gala will take place in April. In addition to the work with CASA, Finnigan Productions has provided audio, lighting and staging for several events throughout Illinois and Missouri, including productions for Barak Obama and Pete Best of The Beatles.

Drake To Lead Posthumous On Aaliyah's Album Production??
PEREZ HILTON -- Could Drake REALLY be working on a posthumous album from Aaliyah???
Since the late songbird’s untimely death in 2001, fans have been waitingto hear a collection of her unreleased tracks.
Now, reportedly, Drake — a huge fan of the singer — has been called on to produce an album, FULL of unheard material!
While nothing has been confirmed, Drizzy is supposedly going to drop a new track at the OVO Festival in Toronto tomorrow…featuring Aaliyah’s vocals!!
However, Drake — who already sampled her song At Your Best (You Are Love) for his Unforgettable track — still has yet to speak with those who were closest to the late singer about the project!
Producer Timbaland recently said:
"I know they’re trying to drop some Aaliyah records, but if he do do it, it should be with me and him and Missy. I don’t know what’s going on, but the proper way to do that would be for me, him and Missy to be all on the record. I produce it. But to put it on his album or to put it on his record or whatever, however it be, it would just not be right."
Uh oh…Drizzy better get on the phone with Timbo STAT!
We’d hate to see Missy, Timbaland and Drake get involved into a feud over the tracks, so we definitely hope some sort of collaboration between ALL of them comes together!
The music scene is definitely missing Aaliyah's presence. Rest in peace, Baby Girl.
