Floetry
Floetry, the English Neo Soul duo comprising of Natalie Stewart (“the Floacist”) and Marsha Ambrosius (“the Songstress”), first began to capture attention in the UK during the late 90’s. Formed in 1999, having met through their love of basketball some ten years earlier, the Brit school alumni’s Ambrosius and Stewart began writing songs and playing shows in and around London on various performance poetry stages.
A bold move to the states in 2000 allowed the ladies to accomplish what many UK artists fail to do; find success overseas, as America wholeheartedly embraced them. After moving from Atlanta to Philly and signing a management deal with Julius Erving III, and becoming regulars at the infamous Black Lilly jam sessions, Floetry’s “poetic delivery with musical intent” captured the eye of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the ladies soon began recording with the Philly native.
Signing a deal with Dreamworks by the end of 2000 Floetry recorded two studio albums Floetic (2002) and Flo’Ology (2005) and one live album Floacism (2003). Floetic sold over 788,000 copies in the United States
