FLO PERLIN is a contemporary folk singer-songwriter from London, UK with Iraqi and Belarusian heritage. She has been hailed as a ‘true storyteller’ by BBC Radio 6 with a style that blends contemporary folk, jazz and soul. The songs explore themes such as family history, human nature and being good to yourself. Her unique, emotive voice and lush instrumentation draws you deeper into her lyrics revealing more with every
listen.
Flo released her first album, ’Cocooned’ in 2017, an EP ’Stories’ 2019, a single ‘Life Lives Inside’ in 2021 and a second album ‘Characters’ in July 2021. This second album led to Flo gaining a wide international audience, with her single ‘Baghdad’ gaining over 3 million streams on Spotify. This led to a string of high profile gigs and festivals throughout 2022 including Cambridge Folk Festival, Wilderness, Celtic Connections and Americana Festival plus headline shows at The Green Note, West Hampstead Arts Club and Trinity Theatre.
Flo was invited to do a live performance and interview on BBC Radio 2 for the Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe. She also gets regular airplay on BBC 6 Music, Folk Radio UK and other regional BBC stations.
Life unexpectedly changed when Flo was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease at the end of 2015 and spent many years in and out of hospital. This was a challenging period, emotionally and professionally. Since recovery, Flo’s music has kicked off, growing
a larger audience of loyal listeners.
Having been awarded fundings from PRS Women Make Music, Flo is recording her third album. In Flo’s words “I want others to listen to my new album and find lightness in discomfort, to bring the listener into a private universe where they can be introspective together”.
