Finn Wolfhard Is The Fifth Face Of CLASH 134
Finn Wolfhard, the Vancouver-born actor who spent ten years playing Mike Wheeler in Stranger Things, is stepping into a new chapter as an indie musician featured in CLASH magazine's latest issue. Now 23, Wolfhard is pursuing music as a heart-on-sleeve artist, building on the foundation laid by his 2025 debut album to explore more personal and introspective creative territory.
His new album 'Fire From The Hip' reflects what Wolfhard describes as his impulsive artistic nature—an instinct to create without excessive deliberation. The project ventures deeper into vulnerability than his previous work, paired with a deliberately raw visual aesthetic that complements his shift toward more existential and confessional songwriting.

Explained simply
Finn Wolfhard played Mike Wheeler in Netflix's Stranger Things for ten years until the series ended in 2024. The role made him a globally recognised celebrity, with the show becoming one of Netflix's most-watched series.
He has since pursued music alongside his acting career, releasing his debut album in 2025. His new record Fire From The Hip features more introspective and vulnerable songwriting than his previous work, with deliberately raw production reflecting his instinctive approach to making music.
For those who know Wolfhard primarily as an actor, his music career represents a distinct creative outlet he is developing in parallel with his established work in television and film.
