Florent Josef

Florent Josef is a genre-defying artist who takes inspiration from soul, electro, Caribbean and
alternative music.

Born near Paris, Florent Josef grew up surrounded by a family of musicians and in a home of
Carribean music, something that along with his West Indian heritage has hugely influenced his
music. At the age of just five, Florent began learning the drums which would be the start of his
lifelong love of creating and playing music. Music quickly became a valuable outlet for Florent,
who had lived with a stutter his whole life, and through music he found an expressive place
where words could endlessly flow.

Florent Josef’s sound is warming and powerful, seamlessly shifting between pain and nostalgia.
A sensitive soul, his music is personal and allows his many artistic facets to shine through as
well as his proud Afro-Caribbean heritage. By freeing himself from the expectations of industry
and genre, Florent creates what is in his heart and by doing so, touches the hearts of others. He
creates music that people can relate to and through his music.
