Florence Welch, lead singer and head songwriter for Florence and The Machine, debuted her first album ten years ago this year. Since then, Florence has been a ubiquitous choice for radio stations everywhere, playing concerts for thousands, and one of the faces of indie rock.

Florence is an artist at heart. She lives in a home filled with paintings, postcards, plants, and trinkets that serve no other purpose than to comfort her and enrich her creativity. She's written poems and preformed songs for her family since she was a child, even dancing around with a wineglass when she was in elementary school, serenading her mother. She attended art school before dropping out and pursuing her music career, but still loves art and is heavily influenced in her style by many eras of it. Florence is without pretentiousness, an artist only in search of herself and higher understanding. She is genuine in a magnetic way. She comes across as soft and loving, incredibly honest in her interviews and lyrics.
