“The last time I felt shivers down my spine was at Floanne’s concert. Her voice is very unique with a ‘je ne sais quoi’ hypnotizing effect.” Agathe Leroy/She is French
Performing regularly at Joe's Pub, Symphony Space, Standard Hotel, Sleep No More, Singe Vert, Floanne has appeared solo at Bryant Park and the New York Botanical Garden.  As an actress, she was in the  musical "Loving the Silent Tears" opposite Jody Watley, Jon Secada and Liz Callaway at L.A.’s Shrine Auditorium.  Floanne graduated in dance at the Merce Cunningham Studio and comedy improvisation at Upright Citizens' Brigade, making her a versatile, spontaneous and fearless triple-threat. 


"Floanne is elegant and edgy in her personality and has regal, glamorous looks like some old Hollywood beauty.  She is a sexy beauty and a musical pleasure.  Her opera voice is truly gorgeous."  –Danielle Miceli/New York Cabaret Today
