Mini bio
How it started.
Florence grew up in Camberwell in south London. Early performances with Isabella Summers brought together the nicknames Florence Robot and Isa Machine, the beginnings of the band’s name. Florence + The Machine formed in 2007, and Lungs followed in 2009.
The breakthrough.
Lungs became a UK number one and won the 2010 BRIT Award for British Album. Ceremonials followed in 2011, then How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful in 2015, High As Hope in 2018 and Dance Fever in 2022. Fans know her voice through songs such as Dog Days Are Over and Shake It Out.
Beyond the band.
Her 2018 book Useless Magic gathers lyrics, poetry, handwritten drafts, drawings and photographs. For Gatsby: An American Myth at American Repertory Theater, she wrote the lyrics and composed the music with Thomas Bartlett. She also sang and co-wrote Florida!!! with Taylor Swift.
The current chapter.
Everybody Scream arrived on Halloween in 2025. Written and produced with collaborators including Mark Bowen, Aaron Dessner and Mitski, it explores womanhood, mortality and recovery through an interest in mysticism and folk horror. In 2026, Welch brought that music to the Everybody Scream tour and festival headline sets.
