Stalk the Dream... Until it Stalks You Back......

About Me

These past two years have been awesome for Chelsea Flor – Playing nearly 100 gigs this year has prepared her for opening up for her first national touring act Pat Green to a sold out crowd at San Diego’s fine 4th & B Venue. Playing Street Fairs and Festivals as well as garnering a nomination for San Diego’s HAT Award 2006- "Honoring Acoustic Talent" for "Best Female Performance". Recently she has been added to the line up of The Slugger Trask Band as backing vocals, keys and rhythm as well as tracking with them backing her on her songs. She also works for Avalon Global Promotions, Bands of the World Tour as their Band Liaison.As a Native New Yorker, raised in a musical family, she spent her early years embellishing the East Coast sound in PA, NJ and NY… She attributes her early influences to the family harmonies with endless nights singing to the pop culture of the times. 1st band “Wet Dog” influenced by local Trenton/Jersey Shore Blues/Rock scene… 1st Song published “Madame Blue” co-written with Jody Giambelluca recorded by Frank Stallone and Valentine… After a hiatus from music she became a well sought after custom bridal designer owning her own shop “Chelsea’s Closet”. All the while she had been a researcher into Ancient Mysteries. Her passion for Ancient Cultures took her to many cultural centers teaching and lecturing here and abroad. Her accomplishments include two Documentaries, “Mysteries of the Sphinx 2”, “The Roswell Decologue”, several TV shows and the publishing of her periodical “Third Eyes Only”.Coming from Cherokee heritage her teachings were embraced by the Native American circles where she worked with the elders of many tribes expressing the ancient sciences of Sacred Geometry, Sacred Sound, glyph interpretation, cycles of the Heavens and ceremonial song. Her travels to Sacred Sites have given her purpose to write songs again using this inspiration to get back into her roots seeking the music scene again. Transplanted to San Diego, she co-founded “Sirens Lure”, an all female tribute to classic pop/rock harmonies. During that time she was embraced by the musical scene to put herself out there soloing with her original songs… Her song writing style hints at a musical bloodline that embraces everyone from Joni Mitchell to Jackson Browne, Sheryl Crowe to Avril Lavigne. Yet the Native American influence runs strong in her lyrics and rhythms. Chelsea’s vision is to harness and create a signature sound to capture the hearts and minds of those choosing to further world consciousness. When she is not out there performing, supporting the local music scene or taking in a rock concert or two, she’s busy following her passion for the lyrical song. On any given day, you can find her with her favorite dog “Joline” on her favorite perch at Sunset Cliffs singing to the harmonies of the Ocean and Sky.
