About May Florance


Bio

May Florance (2004) is a dutch self-made singer/songwriter who creates acoustic alternative/indie-pop music with melodramatic elements and unique vocals, mostly in English. The lyrics in her songs are written like short stories either based on real life experiences or completely made up by her creative imagination.
Apart from her own work Florance loves to cover her favorite songs or dance to them when she has the chance to. She enjoys making music on her own terms, but has also worked on songs for love-struck friends and of course, school.
From a young age, May Florance has harbored a passion for singing and performing. Livening up every family birthday party with a new cover or self-choreographed dance. At the age of 12 and 15 she taught herself how to play the piano and the guitar, respectively.
In 2016 she also started writing her own songs, which is how her music journey truly began.
Her love for the arts grew at her former high school: De Theaterhavo/vwo in Rotterdam, where she followed theater, singing and dance classes. She graduated high school with an art-profile specialized in singing.
Since then Florance has continued to write and compose music, earning her 30 finished demos.
