Singer/Songwriter, Harpist, and Model Floralyn George will be setting off on her first UK tour to Oxford’s O2 Academy, Swindon’s Arts Centre, and Newbury’s Arlington Arts Centre in September.

Born into a family of musicians, Floralyn has been singing and playing the harp for more than 10 years. She has been performing in the United Kingdom, Macau, Hong Kong, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece and Egypt.

Her Debut EP ‘When Light Falls Asleep’ embodies her unique sound, intertwined with exceptional range and dynamics of her voice with an enchanting tone of her harp playing lays down on the diverse texture of pop-rock, electro, dance and ambient. The EP was released on July 30 followed by the announcement of her first UK Tour.

Although only 21, Floralyn’s vocals resonate with a graceful presence beyond her years which could be compared to the likes of Jess Glynne and Florence Welch, while spanning into the alternative and electro pop genres.

Floralyn said: “The main purpose of this tour is to raise funds for a variety of causes and charities. We want to contribute to their fundraising efforts and help people with health problems, as well as environmental issues and endangered species.

“The charities we are supporting are British Heart Foundation, Macmillan Cancer Support, Blue Cross, Marie Curie, Elephant Family and The Yearley Trust. I believe that music is a healer and it brings people together. It has the power to move our emotions and sometimes change our lives.

“I also believe that by doing a good deed brings deep personal satisfaction. Let’s get involved and start changing lives together.”
