Mini bio
Carol City beginnings.
Raised in Carol City with seven sisters, Flo Rida grew up around gospel and Miami rap. As a teenager, he joined the Groundhoggz. He later recalled writing after school and taking a job as Fresh Kid Ice’s hype man, which brought him to Hawaii.
The work before the hits.
Before his breakthrough, he unloaded freight trucks to pay for studio time. A coworker, Lee “Freezy” Prince, became his manager and connected him with Poe Boy Entertainment through his brother.
The song that opened doors.
“Low,” his 2007 debut single with T-Pain, spent ten consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut album, Mail on Sunday, followed in 2008.
A catalog built for shared nights out.
His catalog stretches from “Right Round” and the David Guetta collaboration “Club Can’t Handle Me” to “Wild Ones” with Sia, “Whistle” and “My House.” More recent releases pair him with artists including Otis Kemp, Cooper Alan, Shaylen and Sage the Gemini.
