Floriginul

Born and raised in Barbados, his early life was spent in a variety of vibrant and lively cities, including New York, Toronto, Manchester, Harare and most recently London.

Flo’s style is irrepressibly funky, dynamic and intoxicatingly fresh and is in essence what makes his energy, lyrics and music stand out in a crowd. Flo’s expression is original, having grown from his roots in old school hip hop and budding into a distinct and wider style that is constantly evolving within the very different genres of music he has explored.

Preferring never to adhere to the stereotypical or expected, Flo enjoys surprising and taking new routes into the unexplored corners of his own and his collaborators experiences. Flo started MC-ing when he was nine and in his mid teens had already signed his first recording contract and, toured with Roll Wit' It Entertainment.

After a stint in Oakland California with RWI, Flo decided to return to Barbados, where he received numerous awards, in categories such as Best New Artist and Rapper of the Year.
