Biography

Born in London to a large family with eight siblings, Flo Morrissey discovered an interest in folk music at an early age.[3] She is the daughter of Helena Morrissey, a former CEO of Newton Investment Management, and Richard, a Buddhist monk and former financial journalist.[4][5] Morrissey began to write her own songs at the age of 14[6] and left school three years later, and gained a place at the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology where she studied music for two years. Deciding upon a career in music, after leaving the BRIT school, she commented, "it has meant that I haven’t met many like-minded people, like I might have if I’d gone to university".[3] After releasing a video performing the song "If You Can’t Love This All Goes Away," she was signed to Glassnote Records.[7] The recording sessions for her debut album took place during the summer of 2014 in Los Angeles, CA.[3] In December 2014 Morrissey released the single "Pages of Gold,"[3] to be followed in June 2015 by the album Tomorrow Will Be Beautiful, produced by Noah Georgeson and Philippe Zdar.[8] Morrissey was featured on a number of festivals in 2015, including Glastonbury.[9] In September she moved to Paris while she toured Japan and North America and released the single "Show Me" in December 2015.[10] On January 13, 2017, Morrissey released an album of covers with Matthew E. White entitled Gentlewoman, Ruby Man.[11] It received four out of five stars from The Guardian's Alexis Petridis.[12]
