Bio
Thanks to all who voted for Uh Oh in Cosmo Radio's Breaking the Band Contest. Because of you I won an on air interview and radio play for the song on Sirus Radio!!! .... .. .. .. .. .. ...................... I shot a music video for Uh Oh with Francisco Campos Lopez!!! Check out the teaser and leave a comment! .. .. .. .. .. .. .. New Video shot by Pastor Traube all the way in Germany! I've never met him but he made a video for Man of the Year that i am LOVIN! Danke fur the surprise, pastor!!! www.youtube.com/pastortraube .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Live at the National Cherry Blossom Festival - courtesy of Camillo Deza! .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Live at the Hard Rock Cafe in Washington, DC 2010! .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... Classically trained in voice, piano, and 'cello, Flo Anito began her singer/songwriter career 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 in the vein of Fiona Apple, Jewel, Ani Difranco, and Nellie McKay. .... Since her recent graduation from Wesleyan University with a BA in Music, Flo has made Washington DC her home. She has opened for Eli Matthson (America's Got Talent) and Emi Meyer at the National Cherry Blossom Festival, has played Celebrate Fairfax (headliners included Joan Jett, Blues Traveler, and Ok Go), opened for Theresa Andersson, a Swedish musician featured in 'Rolling Stone', at DC9, and played with Rosi Golan at Bloombars. Flo heads the local chapter of Just Plain Folks, an international music networking organization and has performed and sold out of her debut cd in venues across New England and the Mid-Atlantic states. .... The last two years have proven to be a whirlwind for Flo. After a live audition, she was selected for the 2010 Artist Roster at the world renowned Strathmore Music Hall. Her song Uh Oh was one of 5 finalists in Cosmo Radio's Breaking the Band Contest and as a result she won an interview and airplay on the Sirius Satellite Radio Station. She recently shot a music video which is already getting press in the LA Examiner and DC's On Tap Magazine. The video is scheduled for release in December. Flo was the only DC based musician selected to play Merriweather Post Pavilion as part of the Virgin Mobile Free Fest's Busking Brigade, where she joined an impressive bill: Weezer, Blink 182, the Bravery, and Franz Ferdinand. She was selected for a CMJ showcase in NYC, a GAP campaign in Charlottesville, and a feature video on the website for the National Association of Broadcasting. She has played for the Secretary of the Interior, performed at the National Press Club, and sung the National Anthem at a Washington Freedom game. .... Flo's new album, "No Dustbunnies", recorded with Chris Keup (O.A.R., Erin McKeown), Stewart Meyers (Lifehouse), and Brian Jones (Dave Matthews Band, Mandy Moore), has been a best seller on both CDbaby and Digstation and is getting radio play in NY, CT, and the DC metro area. This exciting new record along with her lively performance style, powerful voice, and candid lyrics make her a force to be reckoned with so... look out! .... ........ .. .. .. .. .. ................ .... Wanna purchase my new CD "No Dustbunnies"??? Click me in the face, below! .... ...... .... "Flo Anito has made D.C. her home, and we are the better for it. Her release “No Dustbunnies” is filled with heartache, lost love, ambition and hope, The effort put into creating this record is evident. Strong female songwriter with a piano makes for comparisons to Tori or Fiona, but that isn’t fair. Her bluesy, soulful takes stand out." — Robert Fulton, On Tap Magazine
