Flo is a Canadian R&B phenomenon from Manitoba. Strong and intelligent, her chocolate-honey alto sends audiences soaring. She is emotion and truth juxtaposed. Firmly rooted in R&B, with infusions of jazz, soul, and pop, she sings in a style reminiscent of the great voices of our times. She evokes the velvety-sensitive forthrightness of Sade, and the integrity and social awareness of Lauryn Hill. Embodying a pure desire to write, to sing, and to inspire, Flo travels into realms of soul that some artists never tap into… and this is only the beginning
I heard her talking to Beverley Watson on CBC a couple Sundays ago and she spoke eloquently about this longing to sing. She admits to being a task master. Professionally she is a physiotherapist. She said she had to do the "parents" thing which is to get a good, sensible education. For many immigrant parents that good education means being a doctor, lawyer, engineer, teacher something stable that could provide a good living. Flo always had the longing to be a singer but she said she is shy and never thought she was good enough. Her confidence was cracked open after she was given the chance to sing "joyful, joyful" while in Grade 12. "I fell in love with the stage", she said. She recived many positive feedback that gave her the confidence she needed to try out for the Canadian Idol. While she did not make it in the Canadian Idol top 10, her confidence was unleashed and she proceeded full speed ahead to satisfy what her soul was calling her to do.
