Nitin Anish ’26 (Bachelor of Arts in Contemporary Musicianship & Entrepreneur Development) released “Finish Line” on Feb. 23; the new song is available on all streaming platforms. The song evokes the celebratory feeling of leaving a sticky situation or relationship.
“I remember dreaming of releasing my own music a couple of years ago, so releasing ‘Finish Line’ is a dream come true,” said Anish. “I feel grateful and blessed to have found the right people to bring this song to life.”
Anish collaborated with a number of Shenandoah Conservatory students and alumni on the project, including Wayne Romero ’24 (Bachelor of Music in Music Production & Recording Technology) as the mixing engineer and Tom Preston ’23 (Bachelor of Music in Music Production & Recording Technology) as the mastering engineer, as well as singer-songwriter Bobby Bays ’26 (Bachelor of Arts in Contemporary Musicianship & Entrepreneur Development), bassist Nick Walker ’27 (Bachelor of Arts in Contemporary Musicianship & Entrepreneur Development) and pianist Gary Garlic ’24 (Bachelor of Arts in Music) as instrumentalists and singer-songwriter Isabella Mesfun ’26 (Bachelor of Arts in Contemporary Musicianship & Entrepreneur Development), singer-songwriter Bailey Lehfeldt ’24 (Bachelor of Arts in Contemporary Musicianship & Entrepreneur Development) and Aidan Oberle ’26. The group also collaborated with Jairus Thurston as an instrumentalist.
