Italian pop-punk outfit Finley formed in Milan in 2002, its members (all born in 1985) hailing from near the town of Legnano. Guitarist Carmine "Ka" Ruggiero, drummer Danilo "Dani" Calvio, and singer Marco "Pedro" Pedretti were schoolmates, and it was the latter who introduced bassist Stefano "Ste" Mantegazza, with whom he used to play in a grunge band, to the others. In 2004 the band, whose moniker is a tribute to NBA basketball player %Michael Finley, recorded a demo titled Make Up Your Own Mind, which gained them the attention of superstar producer Claudio Cecchetto, who found them a record deal. Their first single, "Tutto È Possibile" (an Italian version of the title track from the demo) saw the light the following year, while their debut album, Tutto È Possibile was released in 2006.
