Liana Flores
Liana Flores (Brazilian Portuguese: [liˈɐnɐ ˈfloɾis]; born 2 June 1999) is a British-Brazilian singer-songwriter and guitarist. After independently releasing two extended plays The Water's Fine! (2018) and Recently (2019), her debut studio album Flower of the Soul was released under Verve and Fiction in June 2024.
Flores was born to a Brazilian mother and a British father. She was raised in South Norfolk, England. In her youth, she listened to bossa nova artists such as Astrud Gilberto, Gal Costa, Caetano Veloso and João Gilberto.
Flores's musical journey began in primary school, where singing in the school choir was part of the school curriculum. She began playing the piano in childhood and took up the guitar in her mid-teens. Flores notes that she began playing the guitar because she loved Bossa Nova and wanted to play the Bossa Nova songs she listened to. Despite being of Brazilian background, Flores notes that she did not grow up speaking Portuguese. As a result, she finds music as a way to connect with her Brazilian cultural background.
Flores developed an interest in 1960s folk music in her late teens. Both of these genres would later go on to inspire her own career as a singer-songwriter. According to Flores, she likes the idea that both folk music and Bossa Nova can be done with just vocals and guitar, two key features for her when writing and performing music.
In 2022, Flores graduated with a first in Zoology from the University of St Andrews.
Flores says she felt "boxed in" during her later teen years; consequently, music became an outlet for her to release these feelings. Her public music career began with the help of TikTok and YouTube on her channel "Ukulili." Flroes began independently uploading music on these platforms because she felt bored in Norfolk, commenting that there was not a lot to do there. On these applications, Flores would cover show tunes on the ukulele.
At the beginning of the COVID-19 shutdown, Flores began exploring music production. At first, Liana tried not to be too involved on TikTok. At the time, she was finishing up her studies in zoology and preparing to look for a job in the field after graduating. To her surprise, her song "rises the moon" went viral on TikTok in 2021. At first, Flores tried to put aside the success and was focused on finishing her degree from the university. However, with the success of this song, Flores was able to begin pursuing a music career. After helping to attract attention to her work, Flores signed with Verve Records.
Flores independently released two EPs The Water's Fine! and Recently in 2018 and 2019 respectively. Flores first gained viral traction in 2021 from her 2019 song "Rises the Moon". In 2022, Flores opened for Laufey during her Everything I Know About Love Tour.
