About Me

Nadine Florence was born and raised in beautiful British Columbia, where she began using her vocal talents early as part of a very musical family. As a youth, she performed live extensively, either at church, in theatre productions or at public venues. At the age of 19 she joined a band in Victoria, B.C. This local cover band -- later named Western Funk Rodeo -- was green but overflowing with talent. What started out as an acoustic Sunday gig rapidly turned into a 3-night weekend party. The club was standing room only for almost 4 years.Following up on that experience, Nadine moved to Nelson, B.C. to attend the Contemporary Music and Technology Program at Selkirk College as a vocal major. Here she met the wonderful group of musicians from the popular R&B/Soul band What It Is. Passionate about singing, creating music and performing live, Nadine has found in What It Is a group of immeasurably talented people to share this common love.Influenced by such artists as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Annie Lennox, Nadine yields a serious weapon of soul, funk and groove. This girl was born to sing, perform, and bring joy to the world through her voice and presence. Get this FREE MySpace layout and more at MySpaceOrYours.net
