Avery Florence

Born & raised in Toronto, Canada, but always felt meant for nature.

I call my genre Soft- Soul. Favourite descriptions of my voice & style have been “sultry and sinuous” and my ability to “imbue humanity and soulfulness into a great tune.” And that “my voice sounds like a hug.”

I began writing songs on guitar but piano is the instrument I feel most embodied.

Exploration & collaboration are the foundations of my musical journey. My 2018 EP, January, was recorded live-off-the floor (all musicians recorded playing simultaneously). I am often collaborating with various producers. Currently, I am working on my first full-length album, Lullabies for Sleepless Nights, independently within my home-studio. My most important collaboration is Flõstate, the fantasy R&B duo alongside my limitless musical partner MKSTN.

(Only some) musical inspirations for me are Nelly Furtado, Lana Del Rey, Bonnie Rait, Dolly Parton, Bon Iver, Billie Eilish, Lauryn Hill, Sinéad O'Connor & Charlotte Day Wilson.

Especially through songwriting, singing & dance, I continue to find myself and in turn better understand others.
