About Me

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 alternative folk/pop songs.Since her recent graduation from Wesleyan University (CT) with a BA in Music, Flo has made DC her homebase. She heads the local chapter of Just Plain Folks (www.justplainfolks.org), an international music networking organization, and has performed and sold her debut cd in venues across New England and the Mid-Atlantic states. Her lively performance style, along with her powerful voice and candid lyrics make her a force to be reckoned with in the future so... look out
