Bio
Classically trained in voice, piano, and 'cello, Flo Anito began her career as a singer/songwriter at age 16 when she got her hands on her first guitar. Already rewarded for her musicality with All-State recognition and roles in Summer-stock theatre, songwriting came naturally to this young talent who has quickly proven herself a prolific writer of thought provoking jazzy pop songs.
Since her recent graduation from Wesleyan University with a BA in Music, Flo has made Washington, DC her home. She heads the local chapter of Just Plain Folks (www.justplainfolks.org), an international music networking organization, and has performed and sold out of her debut cd in venues and festivals across New England and the Mid-Atlantic states.
2008 revealed a brand new, full length CD, "No Dustbunnies" recorded with Chris Keup (Jason Mraz, O.A.R. ), Stewart Meyers (Lifehouse, Erin McKeown), and Brian Jones (Dave Matthews Band, Mandy Moore) on drums. Already this CD has been in the top seller charts on CDbaby and Digstation. This exciting new record along with her lively performance style, powerful voice, and candid lyrics make Flo Anito a force to be reckoned with so... look out!
