BIO
As with most siblings, twin brothers Craig and Darren Fine share an unbreakable lifelong bond. But few people in the world have embarked on the type of journey that these brothers have undertaken in their life; a unique set of experiences that have rounded them into individuals and musical artists like no other. The boys, better known by their stage name FiNE, are South African-born musicians, electronic music composers and DJs.
After relocating to Botswana at the age of two, the brothers spent the next 13 years cultivating a profound musical connection with their African heritage. The boys showed early musical prowess, becoming integral members of their school Marimba Band and Steel Pan Orchestra, in addition to Craig learning to play the drums, and Darren the piano.
Craig and Darren finished high school in Sydney, Australia. Since then, their obsession with electronic music has resulted in them living more than 5 years overseas between Tel Aviv, Los Angeles and Amsterdam. This diverse cultural exposure, coupled with years dedicated to music production, has shaped FiNE's genre-defying and distinctive sound.
FiNE's success has not gone unnoticed, earning international acclaim from industry- leading tastemakers Beatport, Traxsource, 1001Tracklists, EDM.com, EDM Identity, Ephimera Tulum, and DJ Life Mag, with their music supported by the likes of Black Coffee, Moblack, Caiiro and Enoo Napa.
Off the back of their recent Moblack release, ‘The Light’ which soared to the Top 20 of the Beatport Afro House charts, FiNE is poised for a stellar 2024, featuring collaborations with Enoo Napa, Lizwi, Idd Aziz and many others, as well as the launch of their own label, Sippy Time. Their inaugural release, 'Kidonda' featuring Idd Aziz, accompanied by a remix from Enoo Napa, is a testament to their forward-thinking vision and commitment to pushing musical boundaries.
